The Milwaukee Brewers routed the Atlanta Braves on Thursday afternoon, winning 16-7 at Truist Park. The Brewers are now 65-49 and remain in first place in the National League Central while the Braves are 60-54 and now fighting for their playoff lives. Atlanta is now 0.5 games back in the National League wild card picture.

The Brewers pounded out 20 hits in this one, with seven different players registering multi-hit games. Four different players had multi-RBI games as well. Milwaukee also hit six home runs in what was a continuation of a historic series for the offense as a whole.

Per @OptaSTATS on social media:

In the 3-game series in Atlanta, the @Brewers’ offense piled up:

52 hits
34 runs
19 walks
8 home runs
6 stolen bases

No other team in MLB history has reached all of those numbers over any 3-game span.

It’s been amazing what the Brewers have done this season. While this output focuses on the offense, to be in first place without Brandon Woodruff, Wade Miley, Adrian Houser or Corbin Burnes is remarkably impressive.

Also impressive is the development of rookie Jackson Chourio. Entering the season as the No. 2 prospect in the sport, he went 3-for-5 with two home runs, three runs scored and four RBI. He’s now hitting .277 for the year with 14 homers, 50 RBI and 15 stolen bases. At just 20 years old, he’s become the impact player that the team envisioned him.

The Brewers are back in action on Friday night when they take on the Cincinnati Reds at 8:10 p.m. ET.

MILWAUKEE – One person was hit by a car in Milwaukee on Thursday night, Aug. 8.

It happened near Holton and Capitol around 9:15 p.m.

The Milwaukee Fire Department said the person was pinned against a bench and the car, and was taken to the hospital for treatment.

The victim’s injury status is unknown, as well as what led up to the crash.

A man from Texas is the latest to take legal action against a Milwaukee real estate investor, Joseph Nantomah.

In the lawsuit, he alleges Nantomah promised him enticing profits on his investment, but that big payout, he says, never came.

“What he’s doing to people is literally breaking families,” said the man, during a Zoom interview with TMJ4 News.

This investor says Joseph Nantomah owes him more than $90,000 — money his family had been saving to put their daughters through college.

He is worried about retaliation and is also embarrassed about the situation, so he asked TMJ4 not to show his face or share his name.

New investor accuses Milwaukee real estate ‘flipper’ of fraud

“You know, when you take money from your in-laws and then your wife and they have trust in you, and then you let them down like that, the dynamics of the family changes,” he explained.

In court documents, the Texas investor outlines how Nantomah frequently claimed he was going to repay him but he says they were empty promises. “Excuses upon excuses, obviously lying about the bank not being able to do his huge transactions.”

Like other investors, online is where this man first connected with Nantomah, noticing a shared background. Both had immigrated to the United States from Nigeria.

OVB Law & Consulting is handling this newest lawsuit against Nantomah and has been involved in ten similar cases.

“I think Mr. Nantomah holds himself out as being the ideal story of the immigrant success story of rags to riches,” said OVB’s managing partner Emil Ovbiagele. “We don’t believe that that’s true. We think that it’s all a lie. It’s all a ploy.”

Nantomah’s lawyer told TMJ4 News he does not comment on or discuss cases that are in litigation, but confirmed Nantomah is contesting the allegations in all of the cases that have been filed.
