From Wayne Mausser:
Christian Yelich hit a two-run homer, Tobias Myers pitched 5 1/3 strong innings and the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Houston Astros 5-1 on Monday night.
Myers (1-0) received an early hook in his last start, working just two innings before departing with the score tied at 2 in a game the Brewers eventually won 6-4 over the Chicago White Sox.
He was much sharper Monday.
Myers carried a shutout into the sixth inning and ended up allowing six hits and one run. He struck out two and walked none.
Milwaukee broke a scoreless tie by getting three runs in the third inning.
Joey Ortiz hit a leadoff double and came home on William Contreras’ two-out single. Yelich followed by connecting on a 2-2 pitch and delivering a 413-foot shot over the wall in right-center.
Yelich’s homer came in his 1,500th career game and occurred one day after he broke out of an 0-for-19 slump.
Houston’s Ronel Blanco (2-3) allowed three runs and seven hits in six innings. He struck out six and walked two.
Milwaukee added two runs off Bennett Sousa in the eighth. Rhys Hoskins hit an RBI double before Jake Bauers singled him home.
The Astros played a third straight game without three-time All-Star Yordan Alvarez, who went on the injured list Monday with inflammation in his right hand.
This three-game series continues Tuesday with a matchup of right-handers as Hayden Wesneski (1-2, 3.86 ERA) starts for the Astros and Chad Patrick (1-3, 2.87) pitches for the Brewers. First pitch is at 6:40 from American Family Field.
Elsewhere in the NL Central on Monday the Cubs beat the Giants 9-2, Braves shutout the Reds 4-0 and the Cardinals over the Pirates 6-3. The Cubs lead the Brewers and Reds by four games, the Cardinals are five games out and the Pirates are 10 games back.
There were no games Monday in the Midwest League. The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers are back in action tonight, playing in Peoria against the Chiefs. First pitch is at 6:05.
Christian Watson is back in Green Bay recovering from a torn ACL suffered in the 2024 regular season finale against the Bears.
It’s an injury that’s etched in the minds of Packers fans.
While running a pattern, Watson went down with a non-contact injury and grabbed his right knee. The receiver was helped to the sideline before eventually being carted back to the locker room.
The next day, it was revealed Watson had torn his ACL.
He hopes to return sometime during the 2025 season, saying he has a “couple months remaining” in his recovery timeline.
The wideout has continued rehabbing at the Packers’ facility, saying it helps being in Green Bay.
