Brewers Triumph Over Braves with Late-Game Power

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee Brewers secured an 8-3 victory against the Atlanta Braves on Monday night, powered by a pivotal three-run homer from Willy Adames in the sixth inning. Adames’ 416-foot blast, marking his 17th home run of the season, shifted the momentum in favor of the Brewers, putting them ahead 4-2. “I feel like when the game’s on the line and it’s late, it gets me locked in,” Adames remarked, highlighting his ability to perform under pressure. Rookie Jackson Chourio further extended the Brewers' lead with a two-run homer in the eighth, his 12th of the season, solidifying a five-run advantage. Joey Ortiz also contributed with a run-scoring triple in the seventh, which helped to create a comfortable margin for Milwaukee. Chourio expressed hope to maintain his confidence moving forward as the team continues to push for success. The Braves initially took the lead with Marcell Ozuna’s 31st home run in the fourth inning, followed by Orlando Arcia’s solo shot in the fifth. However, the Brewers responded with a home run from Rhys Hoskins, narrowing the gap to 2-1. Atlanta has struggled recently, losing seven of their last nine games, which has put pressure on their performance. In a pre-game development, the Brewers placed closer Trevor Megill on the 15-day injured list, just a day after welcoming back two-time All-Star Devin Williams, who had been sidelined with stress fractures in his back.
