Milwaukee BrewersvsAtlanta Braves
MIL 9/ATL 4
Things to say
The Brewers beat the Braves 9-4 at Truist Park.
01
opener
Brewers went into Atlanta and put up nine. Braves never really had it. Felt over by the middle innings.
02
key player
Milwaukee's bats carried it, the heart of the order kept turning the lineup over all night. Nine runs on the road is no joke.
03
hot take
Honestly the Braves bullpen lost that one. You give up nine at home, that's not bad luck, that's just getting hit.
04
deep cut
Two games separate these teams in the standings now. Milwaukee's quietly right there with Atlanta.
05
exit
Anyway, Braves better bounce back tomorrow or this series gets away from them.
The recap
Milwaukee went into Truist Park and hung a nine-spot on the Braves, walking out with a 9-4 win that wasn't really as close as the score. The Brewers' bats got into Atlanta early and never let the home crowd settle in, stacking runs while their starter kept the heart of the Braves order quiet.
Atlanta's four runs were too little, too late once the Milwaukee lead ballooned. With this one, the Brewers pull within striking distance at 46-29 and prove they can punch in a hostile yard.
