Game Preview
The Milwaukee Brewers are closing in on the best record in the majors, consistently delivering key hits in crucial moments. Their latest feat was Jackson Chourio’s ninth-inning tiebreaking homer, setting the stage for a potential four-game series sweep against the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday.
Milwaukee (80-56) now has a magic number of 16 to secure the National League Central, aiming for their eighth series sweep this season following Chourio’s decisive hit against Justin Wilson in a 5-4 win.
Chourio shared his mindset during that pivotal moment, explaining, "My focus was just on getting on base and contributing to the team’s success. I thrive in those pressure situations that can swing the game."
With this victory, the Brewers joined the Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies as the third team to notch 80 wins. They are also on the brink of their fourth consecutive winning season, buoyed by sweeping a day-night doubleheader on Friday and clinching another close game on Saturday.
Willy Adames also played a crucial role with a three-run homer and scoring a crucial run before Chourio’s homer secured Milwaukee’s seventh win in games tied after the eighth inning, and their 16th last-at-bat victory. Adames has hit 10 home runs in the last 28 games.
Brewers manager Pat Murphy expressed confidence in his team’s depth: "We don’t claim to be more talented, but we find a way to win with contributions from different players each night."
Milwaukee boasts a strong recent record of 19-9 in their last 28 games and 15-6 on the road in their last 21 outings, with a dominant 37-13 record against the Reds in their last 50 encounters.
Cincinnati (64-73), struggling on a 1-5 homestand and 4-12 in their last 16 games, is trying to recover from these setbacks. Despite a strong showing on August 14 with a 9-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals, they’ve stumbled, especially in clutch situations, going 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position on Saturday and 2-for-19 in the series.
Reds manager David Bell acknowledged the Brewers’ prowess, saying, "They did everything right tonight—great plays, big hits, and solid pitching. They’re a tough team."
Elly De La Cruz struggled Saturday, going 0-for-4, a dip from his .355 average over the previous seven games.
Brewers’ Tobias Myers (6-5, 2.99 ERA), despite a seven-game winless streak, aims to replicate his strong performance from August 10 against the Reds. He’s pitched well with a 2.72 ERA since his last win on July 10 but took a no-decision in his last start.
Cincinnati has not confirmed their starter for Sunday, potentially opting for an opener as they did on Saturday when Fernando Cruz and four other pitchers held the line for the first few innings.
