Civale Shines in Brewers' Victory Over Guardians
- Willy Adames hit a crucial three-run homer for the Milwaukee Brewers.
- Aaron Civale pitched six shutout innings against his former team, the Cleveland Guardians.
- The Brewers defeated the Guardians 5-3, breaking the Guardians' five-game winning streak.
Tampa Bay pitcher Shane Civale, who was traded from the Cleveland Guardians to the Brewers in July, showcased his skills in a recent game against the Guardians. Civale, now holding a record of 4-8, struck out four batters while allowing just four hits and one walk. After a rocky start with Milwaukee, where he went 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA in his first five outings, he has rebounded impressively, boasting a 2-0 record and a 1.46 ERA in his last two starts. The game saw a strong offensive performance from the Brewers, highlighted by Willy Adames, who hit a two-out homer in the first inning, giving Milwaukee an early 3-0 lead. This home run marked Adames' franchise-record 10th three-run homer of the season, making him the leader in that category across Major League Baseball. Joey Ortiz also contributed with a triple, scoring on Brice Turang’s single to extend the lead to 5-0 in the fourth inning. On the mound for the Guardians, pitcher Williams struggled, allowing five runs on six hits in four innings, despite striking out five batters. The Guardians, known for their resilience with a league-leading 34 come-from-behind victories this season, attempted a late rally with home runs from José Ramírez and Fry in the eighth inning, but ultimately fell short. In injury news, Brewers right-hander Enoli Paredes made a successful rehabilitation appearance, striking out one and retiring the side in order during his inning of work with Wisconsin.
