Brewers Overpower Giants 11-3 with Yelich’s Grand Slam
Christian Yelich provided the highlight of the game with his fifth career grand slam, helping the Brewers to a commanding 11-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants. Yelich’s slam came on a fastball from reliever Lou Trivino, which broke open a close contest. It was his first grand slam in more than three years, and it sparked an eight-run inning that the Giants could not recover from. Jake Bauers also contributed to the big inning with a two-run homer.
Brice Turang was a standout for the Brewers, recording four hits on the night. Along with Bauers’ three-hit performance, the Brewers’ offense was clicking on all cylinders. William Contreras also had two RBIs, further contributing to the offensive onslaught. Milwaukee’s ability to capitalize on San Francisco’s defensive errors helped them secure the win.
Jose Quintana, who remained unbeaten with a 3-0 record, was solid on the mound, allowing only one run and six hits in six innings. The Brewers’ pitchers shut down the Giants’ offense as Grant Anderson, Bryan Hudson, and Joel Payamps each pitched one perfect inning to complete the victory. Quintana’s solid outing was a testament to the Brewers’ pitching depth.
San Francisco’s starter, Jordan Hicks, struggled again, allowing six runs (five earned) over five innings. His ERA ballooned to 8.44 after allowing 20 runs in his last 21 1/3 innings. While Wilmer Flores contributed three hits and an RBI, it wasn’t enough to overcome the Brewers’ offensive firepower and defensive miscues, including a passed ball and wild throw by Giants catcher Patrick Bailey.
The Brewers showcased both offensive and defensive dominance in their 11-3 win over the Giants, with Yelich’s grand slam providing the spark for a big inning and Quintana delivering a strong pitching performance.
“When the game was still close, Yelich’s grand slam broke it wide open, highlighting his leadership in the Brewers’ offensive surge.”
