The Brewers had off-day Thursday and are back in action tonight in Philadelphia against the Phillies. Quinn Priester (1-2, 4.23 ERA) goes for Milwaukee. First pitch is at 5:45.
There were no games Thursday in the NL Central. Going into Friday’s games, the Cubs lead the Cardinals by three games, the Brewers by 6 ½, the Reds by 7 ½ and the Pirates are 14 ½ games back.
In the Midwest League Thursday, the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers lost to the Peoria Chiefs 10-1 at Fox Cities Stadium. The teams meet again tonight with the first pitch at 6:40 from Fox Cities Stadium.
In Northwood’s League action Thursday the Madison Mallards 10-3 at Mallard Park.
Fond du Lac will look to rebound from the loss in Friday’s game against the Lakeshore Chinooks at 6:35 p.m. The next home game for the Dock Spiders will be on Saturday, May 31 at 4:05pm against the Lakeshore Chinooks which falls on one of the Souvenir Seven Giveaway days where fans who show up early will receive a Dock Spiders Bucket Hat presented by Horicon Bank.
Jalen Brunson scored 32 points, Karl-Anthony Towns added 24 points and 13 rebounds despite a bruised left knee and the New York Knicks stayed alive in the Eastern Conference finals by beating the Indiana Pacers 111-94 on Thursday night in Game 5.
The Knicks won on their home floor for the first time in the series and prevented the Pacers from earning the second NBA Finals trip in franchise history. Indiana will try again Saturday night at home.
Knicks fans chanted “Knicks in 7! Knicks in 7!” in the final minutes as New York extended its first trip to the conference finals since 2000 and kept alive hopes of becoming the 14th team to overcome a 3-1 deficit to win a series. No team has won a conference finals series after dropping the first two games at home.
Two nights after giving up 43 points in the first quarter, the Knicks held the Pacers to just 45 in the first half and limited Tyrese Haliburton, who had 32 points, 15 assists and 12 rebounds Tuesday, to just eight points and six assists.
Brunson, outplayed by his point guard counterpart Tuesday, rebounded with his franchise-record 21st postseason game of 30 or more points with the Knicks.
Bennedict Mathurin scored 23 points off the bench for the Pacers, who had won six straight road games. Indiana shot just 40.5% from the field in by far its lowest-scoring game of the postseason.
Brunson scored 14 in the first quarter as the Knicks held a 27-23 lead – giving up 20 fewer points than in the first quarter of Game 4, when they trailed 43-35.
Towns, who was questionable to play after hurting his left knee in a collision late in Game 4, picked up the slack with 12 in the second, when Brunson was scoreless.
Brunson came back with the Knicks’ first eight of the third quarter as they opened a 20-point lead midway through the period. The Pacers cut that in half before New York regained control with a 12-0 burst, highlighted by Brunson’s four-point play, to make it 86-64.
Angel Yin started experimenting with a new putter about a month ago and decided to use it in a tournament for the first time at the most prestigious event in women’s golf.
The move worked well in the first round at Erin Hills.
Yin made a 13 1/2-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th for a 4-under 68 and a share of the U.S. Women’s Open lead with 2020 champion A Lim Kim, Jinhee Im, Yealimi Noh, Rio Takeda and Julia Lopez Ramirez.
A season of tributes to legendary Milwaukee Brewers broadcaster Bob Uecker will continue with a giveaway in August.
The team plans to give Bob Uecker golf umbrellas to the first 25,000 ticketed fans coming to the August 23rd game against the San Francisco Gians..
Gates open two hours before the scheduled 6:10 p.m. first pitch.
The umbrella features plaid-themed panels in honor of the sport coats Uecker wore in the 1970s and ’80s, most notably as a frequent guest on “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson” and a commercial pitchman for Miller Lite.
The game is the day before a celebration of life set for American Family Field.
Uecker died in January at age 90. He spent 54 years calling Brewers games on the radio.
A judge dismissed a lawsuit claiming the Green Bay Packers failed to act to prevent a data breach related to the Pro Shop website.
There was a data breach in September and October. The Packers offered credit monitoring and other services to customers. Brian Garcia sued the team, seeking damages.
In a one-sentence ruling, signed Wednesday, Judge Tammy Jo Hock approved an agreement to close the case.
“The Court, having considered Plaintiff’s Stipulation of Dismissal with Prejudice, pursuant to Wis. Stat. 805.04(1), orders that the class and individual allegations set forth in this action shall be dismissed, with prejudice,” the ruling states.
The team declined to comment on the dismissal.
Transactions at the team store at Lambeau Field were not a part of the breach, the team said.
