Sports for June 27th
Rowdy Tellez hit a pair of two-run homers against his former team, leading the Milwaukee Brewers over the Toronto Blue Jays 10-3 Sunday. Milwaukee took two of three in the series between teams meeting for the first time since 2017.
Tellez, traded from Toronto to the Brewers last July, homered in the first inning. He then connected in the second for his 13th home run.
Milwaukee scored five times in the second. Tyrone Taylor led off with a double, Jace Peterson then reached on a perfectly executed drag bunt and Jonathan Davis had an infield single that brought in a run. After Christian Yelich had an RBI grounder, Tellez homered again off José Berríos (5-4), driving a pitch over the right-field wall. The drive gave the Brewers an 8-3 lead as a crowd of more than 35,000 stood and chanted Tellez’s name. Tellez has two multi-homer games this season and seven in his career.
Jandel Gustave (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings in relief of Chi Chi González to get the win. González and four Milwaukee relievers held Toronto scoreless after the first inning.
Alejandro Kirk hit a three-run homer in the Toronto first. After Tellez homered in the bottom half, a run-scoring double by Omar Narváez later in the inning pulled Milwaukee even.
González, making his second start for the Brewers, gave up four hits and three runs in four innings. Berríos allowed eight hits and a season-high eight runs in 2 2/3 innings. He surrendered six runs over four innings in his previous start on June 20 against the Chicago White Sox.
After a day off on Monday, Milwaukee is on the road to take on the Tampa Bay Rays. RHP Brandon Woodruff (5-3, 4.74) will start on Tuesday for the first time since May 27 at St. Louis. Woodruff has been on the 15-day injured list with a right ankle sprain and Raynaud’s syndrome, which affected the fingers on this throwing hand.
Elsewhere in the NL Central Sunday Tampa Bay beat Pittsburgh 4-2, the Cubs nipped the Cardinals 6-5 and the Reds over the Giants 10-3. Milwaukee leads St. Louis by one game in the division.
In the Midwest League Sunday the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers won at home over Quad Cities 6-5. There are no games scheduled today.
In the Northwoods League Sunday the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders pounded the Wausau Woodchucks 14-4 at Herr-Baker Field. Cole Messina drove in a career-high seven runs on three extra base hits. Messina went 3-5 on the day with a three-run home, a triple and a double. Stephen Schissler allowed just two hits over 5 2/3 innings to pick up the win. The Dock Spiders are on the road tonight to face the Green Bay Rockers with the first pitch set for 6:35.
The Colorado Avalanche are back atop hockey’s mountain after dethroning the two-time defending champions. Behind a goal and an assist from Nathan MacKinnon, the Avalanche won the Stanley Cup for the third time in franchise history and first in more than two decades by beating the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 in Game 6 of the final Sunday night. The Avalanche’s Cale Makar won the Con Smythe Trophy for his outstanding play in the finals.
Chase Elliott won the rain-drenched race at Nashville Superspeedway on Sunday night. Elliott recovered from an early issue that dropped him deep into the field to take the lead with 38 laps remaining and hold off three Joe Gibbs Racing drivers for his second Cup victory of the season. It took NASCAR’s most popular driver nearly seven hours and a late four-lap shootout to get to victory lane.
