Milwaukee Brewers continue to impress the masses with their third straight win, their second over an AL World Series favorite Boston Red Sox as the team wins again, 7-3. Brewers are also at their high watermark for games over .500 with two and look to build it on Thursday afternoon when they go for the sweep of Boston. This win should excite fans more than some of the others because Milwaukee did it with timely hitting driving in five of 11 runners in scoring position and not having a single home run which has been a major source of the offense.

Player of the Game: Hernan Perez (Brewers) – There are so many options here for Brewers players tonight, but I’m going with Hernan Perez because he provided two big hits when Milwaukee needed them. In the first, he added a run with a single then in the wild fifth, Perez added the sixth run of the game and extended Milwaukee’s lead to four at the time. If there is ever a version of baseball’s sixth man, Harry Perry is that dude.

(Not) Player of the Game: Oliver Drake (Brewers) – Rough one for Ollie tonight who struggled in the eighth inning giving up two hits and a walk before getting anyone out. Milwaukee has been very good about limiting Boston’s high-powered offenses with double play balls. These games could have a different tone if Red Sox came up with more big hits.

Player of the Game: Jackie Bradley Jr. (Red Sox) – There’s isn’t much from their team, but let’s give one out for JBJ. He had two hits including a home run. After a dynamic 2016 season, Bradley Jr. is having a tough time seeing the field. He gave his manager something to think about after tonight’s performance.

Positive: Brewers hit parade – We mentioned the timely hitting early on, but it deserves another mention. If this team starts bringing in more runs with runners in scoring position, it will be okay to be irrationally excited about their future. Home runs are great, but it’s nice to see a team manufacture runs without the long ball.

Negative: Pitchers need to go deeper – Once again, a Brewers pitcher did not go six innings or longer. This bullpen is going to be taxed by the end of the year, and it’s not a good thing. Chase Anderson couldn’t make it out of the fifth, but Rob Scahill bailed him out. These type of things cannot keep happening.

Next Up: Milwaukee finishes off their series with Boston on Thursday afternoon. Jimmy Nelson looks to get a full start in, but he’s a little worrisome against Red Sox big bats. Brewers get another lefty with Eduardo Rodriguez who has been tremendous of late although he’s not always the best during the day games. Brewers bats feasted off left-handed pitching with Drew Pomeranz, but this is another animal. If Brewers win, it will be their sixth straight win versus Red Sox.

Charlie.
