Henderson kept Texas quiet deep into the game, allowing only Danny Jansen’s home run while striking out seven. Aaron Ashby followed with a scoreless inning to help preserve the Brewers’ margin.
Milwaukee moved in front in the first when Brice Turang scored on William Contreras’ groundout. Christian Yelich then brought Jake Bauers home with a double. After Jansen’s homer trimmed the margin, Garrett Mitchell scored on David Hamilton’s single, and Contreras later drove in Jake Bauers with another single. Jackson Chourio’s single brought Sal Frelick home in the eighth, before Contreras’ sacrifice fly brought David Hamilton across.
Cody Bradford took the loss after Milwaukee’s early pressure produced three earned runs before his departure. Texas managed little further offense after Jansen’s homer, and Milwaukee’s pitching control held the lead.
The Brewers extended their winning streak, while the Rangers’ losing streak continued. Milwaukee’s early strike and Henderson’s command gave the game its shape from beginning to end.
