In a closely contested game, the Milwaukee Brewers edged the Chicago White Sox 4-3 in extra innings on Saturday, extending the White Sox’s losing streak to 10 games. Willy Adames played a crucial role, hitting a two-out, two-run single in the seventh inning to tie the game and then delivering the winning RBI single in the 10th.
Brewers manager Pat Murphy praised the win, noting that it could have gone either way. The White Sox’s Garrett Crochet had a strong outing, striking out eight over six innings of one-run ball. He has been a bright spot for the team this season, allowing just two runs over his last four starts while striking out 32 over his last 23 innings.
Crochet attributed his success to being “dialed in” and feeling comfortable on the mound. The White Sox took an early 3-1 lead on home runs by Andrew Benintendi and Gavin Sheets, but the Brewers’ offense came alive in the seventh inning thanks to Adames’ two-run single.
The Brewers’ rookie left-hander Robert Gasser pitched five innings, scattering seven hits while striking out three and not walking a batter. He has allowed just one walk through his first 29 career innings and none over his last three starts. Hoby Milner pitched the ninth inning for the Brewers.
Gasser acknowledged that he wasn’t as sharp as he would have liked to have been, but he will learn from the experience. Adames’ winning hit came off Michael Kopech (1-5), who took the loss. The Brewers have won four in a row and seven of their last nine, while the White Sox have lost 14 of their last 15 games.
The Trainer’s Room.
The White Sox had several players dealing with injuries. First baseman Andrew Vaughn was held out of the lineup for the second consecutive game due to a finger strain sustained while sliding into third base on Wednesday against the Blue Jays. Additionally, outfielder Andrew Benintendi left the game after hitting a home run in the first inning, citing left achilles tendinitis.
On the Brewers’ side, right-handed pitcher Trevor Megill made his return to the mound after being sidelined since Tuesday’s game against the Cubs. Megill was hit by a comebacker off his right elbow and was forced to miss a game. He came on in the seventh inning and struck out all three batters he faced, with his fastball reaching a speed of 99 mph.
