Top Story
Brewers Rout Tigers in Morning Showdown
The Brewers defeated the Tigers 12-4 in what was supposed to be a low-scoring pitcher's duel. Keider Montero had allowed no home runs through his previous three starts, but the Brewers' lineup proved too potent at Comerica Park. The morning game saw Jake Bauers hit a double and Garrett Mitchell launch a triple in the Brewers' explosive offensive display. With injuries to Christian Yelich, Jackson Chourio, and Andrew Vaughn, Milwaukee's skeleton crew still managed to overwhelm Detroit's pitching and defense.
