Rowdy Tellez homered twice and set a Milwaukee Brewers record with eight RBIs to extend his recent power surge in an 18-4 blowout of the reeling Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night.
Tellez broke a 2-all tie and put the Brewers ahead for good with a 453-foot grand slam off Vladimir Gutiérrez (0-5) in the third inning. He had a two-run shot off Dauri Moreta that traveled 431 feet in the sixth. Tellez capped his big night with a two-run double off the right-field wall in the eighth against Matt Reynolds, an infielder who came in to pitch after the game got out of hand. Tellez has homered four times in his last four games to increase his season total to seven.
Kolten Wong also homered for the Brewers. Andrew McCutchen went 4 for 5, scored twice and had four RBIs. Christian Yelich was 2 for 4 with three runs and two RBIs.
The Reds have lost eight straight and 19 of 20. They’ve also dropped their last 12 road games. It marks the first time since 1945 that Cincinnati has endured 12 consecutive road losses within the same season.
Gutiérrez entered with a 3-0 career record and 2.37 ERA against the Brewers, but he wasn’t nearly as effective this time. He allowed eight hits and seven runs in 4 1/3 innings while also hitting two batters with pitches and committing two errors.
Brewers starter Freddy Peralta (1-1) recovered from a shaky start and allowed three runs in five innings while striking out seven and walking two.
The three-game series concludes Wednesday afternoon with Hunter Greene (1-3, 6.00 ERA) pitching for the Reds and Adrian Houser (2-2, 2.53) starting for the Brewers in a matchup of right-handers. First pitch is at 12:40 and the game can be heard on AM 1100/98.3 FM, WISS.
Elsewhere in the NL Central on Wednesday the Tigers and Pirates split a doubleheader with the Tigers winning the first game 3-2 but the Pirates taking the second game 7-2. The Cardinals blanked the Royals 10-0 and White Sox shaded the Cubs 4-3. The Brewers lead the Cardinals by 2 ½ games in the division.
In the Midwest League last night the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers shutout Fort Wayne, 4-0 at Fox Cities Stadium. Brandon Knarr pitched six shutout innings, scattered six hits, and struck out six for his third win of the season. The shutout was the second in a row for the Timber Rattlers over the TinCaps. The T-Rate improved to 14-9 while the TinCaps dropped to 11-12.
Game three of the series is Thursday night at Neuroscience Group Field with a start time of 6:40pm. Antoine Kelly (1-0, 3.24) is the scheduled starting pitcher for the Timber Rattlers. Noel Vela (0-0, 0.59) is set to start for the TinCaps.
In the NBA Eastern Conference semifinal series last night Miami took a 2-0 lead over Philadelphia with a 119-103 victory. The series now shifts to Philadelphia for game three Friday night. In the Western Conference semifinals Phoenix won at home over Dallas 129-109 to take a 2-0 lead in their series. Game three is in Dallas Friday night.
The Green Bay Packers will play the New York Giants in London. The game is scheduled for Oct. 9 at 8:30 a.m. CT. The game is set to air on NFL Network. The teams will play at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It’s a Week 5 game. Tickets will go on sale in June.
“The Packers will have an extremely limited number of tickets available for Packers Season Ticket Holders to purchase through a drawing,” reads a statement from the team.
There’s no word yet on how much tickets will cost. The team will send a survey to Season Ticket Holders and invite them to enter the drawing. This is the first trip overseas for the Packers. They’re the only team to not have played a regular-season game in the NFL International Series.
Drivers Matt Kenseth and Hershel McGriff and crew chief Kirk Shelmerdine have been selected to the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Mike Helton was named the Landmark Award winner for outstanding contributions to the sport Wednesday during a ceremony at the NASCAR Hall of Fame. The group will officially be inducted into the Hall of Fame on Jan. 20.
Kenseth was a first ballot selection, Shelmerdine was voted in on his third try and McGriff his seventh. Kenseth and Shelmerdine were voted in on the modern day ballot, while McGriff made it in on the pioneer ballot.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was involved in a minor automobile crash Wednesday in Dallas, but did not sustain serious injuries, according to NFL Network’s Jane Slater.
Jones was transported to Parkland Memorial Hospital following the crash “out of an abundance of caution,” according to Slater.
It was unclear if Jones was driving or if there were other people in the automobile. A Dallas Police Department spokesperson said the department does not release names of individuals involved in vehicle crashes unless there is a fatality. The 79-year-old Jones has owned the Cowboys since 1989.
