Brice Turang goes deep twice as Brewers clobber Nationals
August 3 - Brice Turang homered twice and drove in four runs, and the Milwaukee Brewers routed the Washington Nationals 14-3 to complete a sweep of the three-game series. The Brewers, who boast the best record (67-44) in baseball, scored 38 runs and collected 56 hits in the series. Joey Ortiz had two hits and drove in four runs, and Brandon Lockridge had two hits and three RBIs for Milwaukee, which finished 6-0 against Washington this season. Milwaukee's scheduled starter, rookie Jacob Misiorowski, was placed on the injured list Sunday morning with a left tibia contusion. Logan Henderson was recalled from Triple-A Nashville and pitched 4 1/3 innings, allowing a run on three hits and two walks while striking out four. Aaron Ashby (2-1) pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings and struck out three for the win. Drew Millas had two doubles for Washington. Brad Lord (2-6) took the loss, allowing three runs on six hits over 4 2/3 innings. He struck out six and walked two. As in the first two games, Milwaukee scored in the first inning when consecutive singles by William Contreras, Andrew Vaughn and Christian Yelich made it 1-0. With two outs in the second and a runner on first, Turang homered to right center to make it 3-0. The Nationals broke through in the fifth when Millas doubled and Jacob Young singled off Henderson to cut the Nationals' lead to 3-1. Ashby came on and struck out CJ Abrams and James Wood to end the threat. Blake Perkins walked and pinch hitter Caleb Durbin singled leading off the sixth. Perkins scored on a sacrifice fly by Lockridge and then Durbin stole third and scored on Millas's throwing error on the play to make it 5-1. The Brewers broke it open against Zach Brzykcy in the seventh. With one out, Yelich walked, Isaac Collins singled and Perkins walked to load the bases. Durbin was hit by a pitch, forcing in a run, and Lockridge singled, scoring two runs to make it 8-1. After a wild pitch, Ortiz singled home two more runs. Ryan Loutus came on to face Turang, who homered to right to make it 12-1. Ortiz doubled home two runs in the eighth. Millas smacked a two-run double in the bottom of the ninth. --Field Level Media

Brewers star Jackson Chourio placed on IL with strained right hamstring
Jackson Chourio has been placed on the 10-day injured list after the Milwaukee Brewers outfielder strained his right hamstring while running out a triple on Tuesday night. The 21-year-old Chourio went 2-for-3 during the 9-3 win over the Chicago Cubs and was seen slowing down after rounding second base to lead off the bottom of the fifth inning. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Afterward, Chourio told reporters his hamstring was "tight" and he felt "a little tickle" as he accelerated once he realized he could get to third base. As he reached the base, he thought it might have just been a cramp. The Brewers are not taking any chances on their young star and he'll now get some time off. Chourio sat out Wednesday's series-finale loss to the Cubs. 'With a hamstring [injury], we're going to be cautious there, so it's probably going to be a little bit longer than we had initially anticipated,' Brewers general manager Matt Arnold said via 'We're not expecting anything excessive, but we just want to be super patient with a player the caliber of Jackson Chourio.' Chourio has followed up a rookie season where he finished third in NL Rookie of the Year voting with numbers that are on pace to top what he did in 2024. Through 106 games, the Venezuela native is slashing .276/.474/.786 with 17 home runs, 67 RBI and 18 stolen bases. Brandon Lockridge, whom the Brewers acquired Thursday from the San Diego Padres in the Nestor Cortes deal, has been added to the roster to take Chourio's place. 'Adding somebody like Lockridge and his athleticism should definitely help us there,' Arnold said. 'Obviously, we'll miss Chourio, [but] for hopefully a short amount of time here.'
