Breakdown

Something must've clicked for a team that hadn't found their footing coming out of the break when the Brewers took a trip to Atlanta last week. They'd leave Braves country having put up at least 16 hits in all three games and a three-game win streak. The offense kept coming in game one against the Reds, with the Brewers scoring eight runs early to win game one of that series. Tobias Myers would back an offensive downturn, throwing 7.1 scoreless in a 1-0 victory, which capped off with Devin Williams striking out the side in the 9th. The 5-game win streak would end in a close game Sunday, 4-3.

Highlights

Joey Ortiz is starting to heat up again.

Rhy Hoskins hits a go-ahead homer in the 8th.

How about this play from Joey Ortiz?

Brice Turang gets into one.

Willy Adames hits his fourth homer in a four-game span.

The Brewers' season high for home runs in a game: six.
