Milwaukee Brewers
MILWAUKEE, WI (WSAU) — Mitch Haniger, J.D. Davis, and Patrick Bailey combined for 10 hits and 10 RBI as the San Francisco Giants ran away from the Brewers in a 15-1 romping on Friday.
Milwaukee briefly jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning on an RBI groundout by Christian Yelich that scored Darin Ruf. That lead was short-lived as San Francisco held a 3-0 advantage by the end of the second and a 10-0 lead after three.
The game was marred by a scary second-inning incident in the home dugout when Brewers shortstop Willy Adames was hit on the side of the head by a foul liner. Adames was able to walk to the clubhouse and an evaluation at a hospital shortly thereafter showed no fractures. However, he was hospitalized overnight for further examination, according to manager Craig Counsell.
Haniger homered as part of a three-run second and Davis went deep in a two-run seventh, helping the Giants win for the ninth time in 11 games. They broke the game open with a seven-run third capped by a three-run homer from Brett Wisely.
Brewers starter Freddy Peralta (5-4) gave up 10 runs (five earned) on eight hits in 2 1/3 innings. Alex Wood (1-0) was pulled with two outs in the sixth, leading 12-1. He allowed one run and three hits. Tristan Beck pitched the final 3 1/3 innings to earn his first career save under the little-known rule that calls for a reliever to be credited with a save for pitching the final three innings of a win “effectively.”
The same two teams will go at it again this afternoon. Pregame coverage on WSAU will begin at 2:35. The four-game series will wrap with a day game on Sunday as well.
