Brewers Clinch Postseason Berth
The Milwaukee Brewers secured their spot in the postseason on Friday night in spectacular fashion. Milwaukee put on an offensive clinic, defeating the Cincinnati Reds 20-0. The victory officially guarantees the Brewers at least a wild card spot as they continue to hold the best record in major league baseball.
Milwaukee now sits at 92-56 on the season. They hold a commanding 10 game lead over second place Chicago in the division. Their magic number to clinch that title is down to just four.
Bats Come Alive in Historic Rout
The Brewers offense was completely unstoppable on Friday, racking up a season high 23 hits. Garrett Mitchell led the charge by hitting the first grand slam of the season for Milwaukee. The team ended up hitting four home runs during the blowout. William Contreras, Brice Turang, and Jake Bauers also hit home runs for the Brewers.
It was a tough night for the Cincinnati pitchers, who had no answers for the relentless Milwaukee lineup. Every part of the batting order contributed to the massive run total.
Pitching Shuts Down Cincinnati
On the mound, Dustin May and Garrett Stallings combined to pitch a brilliant two hitter. May, who was acquired from St. Louis at the trade deadline, earned the win to bring his record to 7-9 on the year. He pitched six strong innings in his seventh start for his new team.
May allowed only two hits during his outing, both of which were singles hit by standout Cincinnati rookie Sal Stewart. Stallings then came on to pitch the final nine outs of the game, securing his first save.
