Sports for June 9th
Avisail Garcia homered and singled home another run and the streaking Milwaukee Brewers beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-1 on Tuesday night for their fifth straight win. The NL Central-leading Brewers were coming off a four-game sweep of Arizona and have won 10 of their last 11. Cincinnati lost after completing a four-game sweep in St. Louis over the weekend.Adrian Houser (4-5) pitched 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball, and the Brewers bullpen shut down Cincinnati the rest of the way. Reds starter Sonny Gray sailed through three innings, giving up two hits and striking out five, before injuring his leg warming up for the fourth. Sean Doolittle came on for the Reds, and Garcia hit his second pitch into the left-field seats for his 12th homer. The Brewers pushed across another run in the fifth when Luis Urias walked, advanced to third on a pair of wild pitches by Ryan Hendrix (2-1) and scored on a double-play grounder. Garcia drove in another run with a bases-loaded infield single in the seventh, and Travis Shaw added to the lead with a two-run double in the Brewers ninth. Shogo Akiyama drove in the Reds’ only run with a second-inning single.
Second baseman Kolten Wong (strained left oblique) is throwing but has yet to start swinging the bat again, manager Craig Counsell said. Wong left Thursday’s game and was put on the 10-day injured list the next day.
LHP Brett Anderson (2-3) goes for the Brewers against Reds RHP Vladimir Gutierrez (1-1) on Wednesday night. Anderson allowed three earned runs on eight hits in 4 1/3 innings Thursday in a no-decision against the Diamondbacks. Gutierrez earned his first big league win on Thursday, allowing two earned runs in five innings against the Cardinals. First pitch is at 6:10 and the game can be heard on AM 1100/98.3 FM, WISS.
Elsewhere in the NL Central on Tuesday, the Dodgers beat the Pirates 5-3, the Indians bombed the Cardinals 10-1 and the Cubs over the Padres 7-1. Milwaukee is a half-game ahead of the Cubs in the division, St. Louis is 3 ½ back, the Reds five games behind the Pirates are 10 ½ out.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was not in attendance Tuesday as Packers mandatory minicamp began. This comes after Rodgers skipped voluntary organized team activities. Rodgers could face a fine worth more than $93,000 for missing minicamp if the team does not excuse his absence. Head coach Matt LaFleur would not get into details about the ongoing situation.
“That’s team business that we’re always going to keep confidential between us and the player,” said LaFleur.
Wide receivers Davante Adams, Devin Funchess, Allen Lazard, Equanimeous St. Brown and Marquez Valdes-Scantling were in attendance after missing OTAs. Cornerback Jaire Alexander was also present at minicamp after missing OTAs.
