Jake Bauers was the catalyst. The Brewers third baseman went 1-for-3 with a walk and struck out once, but his one hit mattered most: a two-run home run in the third inning that gave Milwaukee a 3-1 lead it would not relinquish. Bauers finished with 2 RBIs on the night. William Contreras added a single and a double, driving in one run, while Cooper Pratt contributed a sacrifice fly in the fourth that extended the lead to 4-1.
Michael Harris II opened the scoring for Atlanta with a double in the first inning, bringing Drake Baldwin home. Harris finished 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI. But the Braves managed only that one run across nine innings, unable to mount a comeback against Milwaukee's pitching.
Logan Henderson earned the win for the Brewers, allowing one run on five hits over six innings with four strikeouts and two walks. Martin Perez took the loss for Atlanta, giving up four runs on four hits in four innings of work. The Brewers' bullpen—Chad Patrick, Aaron Ashby, and D.L. Hall—combined to shut out the Braves over the final three innings.
Milwaukee improved to 81-49 and extended its winning streak to three games, maintaining first place in its division. Atlanta fell to 75-55 and dropped to 0-2 in its last two games, though it remains atop its own division. Martin Perez is one win away from 100 career victories.
