Milwaukee Brewers Slaughter Philadelphia Phillies, 17-7
PHILADELPHIA - In a domineering display, the Milwaukee Brewers trump Philadelphia Phillies by a monstrous 17-7 score, leaving the latter to swallow three consecutive losses.
Rhys Hoskins, formerly a Philly player, shines bright, cracking two three-run homers! This was his 13th multi-homer game and the first one since 2022, while he was still with Philadelphia.
Jackson Chourio, on the other hand, was the star of the day, collecting four hits, including a three-run homer, and driving in a mighty five runs. Christian Yelich, another standout player, added a whopping four hits to the Brewers' impressive tally of 23 hits.
Chad Patrick, the Brewers' pitcher, dazzles by allowing only two runs and five hits over six strong innings. The team continues its winning streak at six games.
On the other side, the unfortunate Jesus Luzardo, the Phillies' starter, is pulled after a disastrous 3 1/3 innings, relinquishing a staggering 12 earned runs and 12 hits, including both homers by Hoskins. Luzardo becomes the 12th pitcher in MLB history to allow 12 earned runs in 3 1/3 innings or fewer, and the first since Jordan Yamamoto of Miami Marlins in 2020.
Alec Bohm, Brandon Marsh, and Kyle Schwarber contributed to the Phillies' score, with Bohm hitting a solo homer and Marsh notching a two-run shot. Schwarber adds three hits, including an RBI double.
The heated fourth inning witnessed Philly's manager, Rob Thomson's ejection after a prolonged argument about a balk call. His elegant dance with umpire Dan Iassogna ultimately leads to the aforementioned ejection.
Key Moment
In a swift, 13-pitch affair in the first inning, Hoskins' first homer, a 2-1 fastball by Luzardo, creates a formidable 4-0 lead for the Brewers.
Key Stat
In his first 11 starts for Philadelphia, Luzardo evaded surrendering more than three runs in a single game. However, faced against the Brewers, he conceded four runs to the first four batters he encountered.
Upcoming Excitements
On Sunday, the series concludes with Brewers' LHP Jose Quintana (4-1, 2.65 ERA) squaring off against Phillies' LHP Ranger Suarez (4-0, 2.97).
