Bauers' pinch-hit 2-run double helps Brewers extend winning streak to 7 with sweep of Phillies
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Pinch-hitter Jake Bauers' go-ahead, two-run double in the seventh inning helped the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-2 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep and extend their winning streak to seven.
Bauers batted for Eric Haase in Christian Yelich's spot in the lineup after Yelich left with a bruised right hand after being hit by a pitch in the first inning.
With the game tied at 2 after Phillies shortstop Trea Turner's fielding error allowed a run to score, Bauers doubled down the left-field line off Orion Kerkering (4-2) to put the Brewers ahead.
It was Milwaukee's first series sweep in Philadelphia since 2015.
Jackson Chourio had two hits an an RBI for his third straight multihit game against the Phillies.
Jose Quintana pitched five innings in his return from the injured list with left shoulder impingement. He allowed two runs and four hits with four walks and struck out three.
Nick Mears (1-0) pitched a scoreless sixth to earn the win. Jared Koenig and Abner Uribe each threw scoreless innings before Trevor Megill pitched the ninth for his 11th save in 12 opportunities.
Phillies starter Ranger Suarez exited after giving up Caleb Durbin's double to lead off the seventh. He allowed two runs — one earned — in six innings.
J.T. Realmuto and Kyle Schwarber hit RBI singles in the first two innings for the Phillies, who have lost four straight. Key moment
Defensive miscues fueled the Brewers' three-run seventh. Weston Wilson misplayed Durbin's liner to left field into a double. With two on and two outs, Kerkering induced a ground ball to shortstop from William Contreras. But Turner committed an error to allow Durbin to score, tying the game at 2 and extending the inning for Bauers. Key stat
This marks the Brewers' second straight three-game sweep. They won three in a row at home against the Boston Red Sox before heading to Philadelphia. Before this winning streak, the Brewers hadn't swept a series of at least three games all season. Up next
Milwaukee travels to Cincinnati to begin a three-game series with Aaron Civale (0-1, 6.00 ERA) scheduled to start Monday night.
The Phillies are off Monday before traveling to Toronto for a three-game series. Zack Wheeler (6-2, 2.96 ERA) will start Tuesday's opener.

The Longhorns plated five runs in the bottom of the first inning with back-to-back RBI singles from Reese Atwood and Katie Stewart and a three-run home run from Leighann Goode. Longhorns third baseman Mia Scott put Texas in double figures with the first grand slam at the WCWS in 15 years in the bottom of the fourth. Scott also flashed the leather of her glove in the top of the second inning with a play at the hot corner. It wasn't only Texas' bats that dominated in Game 3 of the WCWS championship series — and the WCWS as a whole — as sophomore ace Teagan Kavan was once again stellar on the mound.

Phillies' Slumping Leadoff Man Bryson Stott Gets Vote of Confidence From Rob Thomson
Phillies' Slumping Leadoff Man Bryson Stott Gets Vote of Confidence From Rob Thomson originally appeared on Athlon Sports. This season, the Philadelphia Phillies have soared to a 37-25 start, placing them second in the NL East. While most things have gone right for Philadelphia, there are a few things that simply have not. Aside from the historical Jesus Luzardo bombardment, the Phillies' few offensive woes stem from the lack of production off the bats of Brandon Marsh, Max Kepler, and Bryson Stott. Advertisement Of these three, Stott is the least concerning, but given that he is the Phillies' leadoff man and thus has the most opportunities at the plate, this warrants some added worry. Stott popped out in a big spot on Wednesday, adding to the concern. However, one person who doesn't share this concern is Phillies' manager Rob Thomson. 'I thought we were going to score (in the fifth),' he said in a postgame interview. 'Bases loaded and one out with 1 and 2 guys coming up. Stott had a good at-bat. Long at-bat, but he just popped it up.' Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Bryson Stott (5) stands on the field with manager Rob Thomson during World Series workouts at Minute Maid Taormina-Imagn Images Despite the fact that Stott is responsible for setting the tune of the Phillies' offense, Thomson still maintains the utmost confidence in him. When asked if he would move him down the lineup, Thomson responded with this: Advertisement 'I'm pretty committed, you know. The length of the at-bats are good. When we first put him in there, he was really productive. He's kind of cooled off a little bit. There's a trust factor there that as long as the at-bats look good and they're long, I'm good with it.' In the following game, Stott would go 0-for-4, bringing his stat line down to .244/.311/.347 with four home runs. While his numbers are nothing to scoff at, hitting leadoff is likely better-suited for someone with a higher on-base percentage. For instance, Kyle Schwarber, who was their leadoff man prior to this season, maintains an on-base percentage of .387.
