Vaughn emerges as one of league's hottest hitters with Brewers after slumping with White Sox

MILWAUKEE (AP) — When Andrew Vaughn joined the Milwaukee Brewers last month with a chance to rejuvenate a career that had gone sideways, the message he received from his new team was simple. If you chase, you won't play. Vaughn took that advice to heart, and suddenly the guy who was batting well below .200 for the first two months of the season is one of baseball's hottest hitters. His remarkable turnaround produced its biggest highlight yet on Tuesday night as Vaughn hit a grand slam and had a career-high six RBIs in the Brewers' 9-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Vaughn's performance helped the Brewers extend their NL Central lead over Chicago to two games. 'It's a special group here right now,' said Vaughn, who went 3 for 4 on Tuesday. 'We're playing really good baseball. It's fun to be a part of.' Vaughn is batting .375 with a .439 on-base percentage, .771 slugging percentage, five homers and 21 RBIs in 15 games since joining the Brewers on July 7. The only player in the major leagues with more RBIs during that stretch is Philadelphia's Kyle Schwarber. 'It's been awesome,' teammate Jackson Chourio said through an interpreter. 'The way he's been able to help us out has just been spectacular. It's just been inspiring to watch.' Vaughn's surge is particularly notable because he was struggling as much as just about any hitter in the game for much of the season. After hitting a combined 71 homers for the Chicago White Sox from 2021-24, Vaughn batted just .189 with a .218 on-base percentage, five homers and 19 RBIs in 48 games before he got sent down to the minors. Vaughn was still playing with Triple-A Charlotte when the Brewers acquired him in a June 13 trade that sent Aaron Civale to Chicago. The Brewers initially assigned Vaughn to their Triple-A team in Nashville, but they called him up when a thumb sprain sent first baseman Rhys Hoskins to the injured list. Little did the Brewers know the guy they'd picked up from the minors would get on this kind of heater. 'The kid's been unbelievable,' manager Pat Murphy said. Murphy noted that Vaughn is swinging at the right pitches now. Vaughn concedes that wasn't the case earlier when he was with the White Sox. 'Early in the year, I was hitting the ball hard, maybe swinging at some bad pitches,' Vaughn said. 'Just trying to hone in on that, focus on getting my pitch to hit.' Vaughn certainly found the right offering Tuesday when he sent the first pitch he saw from Ryan Pressly over the left-field wall for his second career grand slam. Vaughn also drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the second and hit an RBI single in the fifth. He has gone 8 of 15 over his last four games while helping the Brewers overcome their injury issues at first base. Jake Bauers joined Hoskins on the injured list July 20 with a left shoulder issue. Yet the Brewers have kept on winning with Vaughn taking over at first. Vaughn's transformation at the plate is similar to the turnaround he's encountered in the standings. After playing for last-place White Sox teams, he savors the opportunity to have a major role on a Brewers squad that has the best record in the majors. 'Winning's fun, and we've been doing it a lot,' Vaughn said. 'We want to keep it going.' ___ AP MLB:

Yainer Diaz homers as the Astros beat the Nationals to stop a 5-game slide

HOUSTON (AP) — Yainer Diaz and Mauricio Dubón each had three hits, and the Houston Astros beat the Washington Nationals 7-4 on Tuesday night to stop a five-game slide. Christian Walker had two hits and two RBIs for the AL West-leading Astros. Bennett Sousa (5-0) got four outs for the win, and Josh Hader struck out the side in the ninth for his 28th save. Luis García Jr. hit a two-run drive for last-place Washington, which had won three straight and five of seven overall. CJ Abrams had three hits. García connected for his ninth homer in the third inning, lifting the Nationals to a 2-1 lead. But Diaz responded with a solo shot in the fourth for his 14th homer. Walker singled and scored on Cooper Hummel's pinch-hit single in the fifth, and the Astros grabbed control with three more runs in the sixth.

Alcantara pitches 5 scoreless innings, Pauley hits 2-run HR as Marlins beat Cardinals 5-0

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Graham Pauley hit his first home run for the Marlins, Sandy Alcantara pitched five scoreless innings and Miami beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-0 on Tuesday night. Alcantara (6-9) gave up three hits with three walks, struck out four and hit two batters. Calvin Faucher, Ronny Henriquez and Valente Bellozo combined to pitch four scoreless innings with six strikeouts. Troy Johnston in his first major league game singled off St. Louis starter Sonny Gray (10-5) in his first at-bat and Pauley's homer made it 2-0. The 28-year-old Johnston went into the game with 636 career games played and 2,384 at-bats in the minors. Kyle Stowers hit a two-out double and Otto Lopez followed with an RBI single to snap a string of 13 consecutive at-bats without a hit and give the Marlins a 3-0 lead in the fifth. After Dane Myers singled, Eric Wagaman hit an RBI double and Xavier Edwards followed with a run-scoring triple to make it 5-0 in the sixth. Cardinals reliever John King retired Edwards and Jesús Sánchez before he left the game due to an apparent injury in the ninth. Victor Scott II had two stolen bases and is tied with Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Chicago Cubs for second in the National League with 29 this season. Pittsburgh's Oneil Cruz leads the majors with 34 steals. Key stat The Cardinals, who had four hits and struck out 10 times, were shut out for the 10th time this season. Up next Cal Quantrill (3-8, 4.95 ERA) is scheduled to pitch for the Marlins on Wednesday against Miles Mikolas (6-7, 4.94). ___
