Christian Yelich's homer powers Brewers to 8th straight win, beating Reds 3-2
CINCINNATI (AP) — Christian Yelich hit his fourth home run in six games and the Milwaukee Brewers extended their winning streak to eight games, beating the Cincinnati Reds 3-2 Monday night. Yelich — named the National League Player of the Week earlier in the day — connected on a full-count slider from Brady Singer (6-4) and drove it 417 feet to straightaway center and off the batter's eye to put Milwaukee on top in the third inning. Sal Frelick had a pair of hits for the Brewers, who have their longest winning streak since running off nine straight in August 2023. Aaron Civale (1-1) picked up his first win of the season in his third start since missing nearly two months due to a strained left hamstring. The right-hander, who went 5 1/3 innings, rebounded after allowing two runs in the first and struck out five. Trevor Megill retired Cincinnati in order in the ninth for his 12th save in 13 opportunities. The Reds took a 2-0 lead in the first on RBI base hits by Elly De La Cruz and Spencer Steer. The Brewers responded with a pair in the second after loading the bases. Joey Ortiz drew a walk to score Sal Frelick and Brice Truang's sacrifice fly plated Andrew Monasterio. Key moment The Reds had runners on first and second with one out in the sixth inning, but Milwaukee left-hander Rob Zastryzny struck out Jose Trevino and got pinch-hitter Santiago Espinal to ground out. Zastryzny was acquired in a trade with the Yankees on May 16. He was with the Brewers last season and went 1-0 with a 1.17 ERA in nine appearances. He hasn't allowed a run in seven appearances this year. Key stat Yelich is batting .450 over the last 10 games. He has gone 18 for 40 with six homers and 14 RBIs. Up next Milwaukee right-hander Freddy Peralta (5-3, 2.77 ERA) has the eighth-lowest ERA in the NL. Cincinnati will go with RHP Hunter Greene (4-3, 2.63 ERA). ___ AP MLB:

The Red Sox plated a run in the eighth but the Brewers regained a two-run cushion on Eric Haase's infield single with the bases loaded. Duran's run-scoring single in the ninth pulled the Red Sox within a run. Trevor Megill earned his 10th save in 11 tries but had to pitch out of a bases-loaded jam. After winning four of five, the Red Sox lost their third straight while scoring a total of four runs in those contests. Crochet (4-4) gave up five hits and two runs in 6 2/3 innings. He walked two and struck out 11, marking his eighth career start with 10 or more strikeouts. Key moment Ortiz, who entered the game with a .185 average, led off the fifth with a double. Monasterio, who came in with a .083 average, followed with a two-base hit for his first RBI of the season. Key stat Chourio's first-inning home run, a 413-footer to left, marked the first career leadoff homer for the 21-year-old outfielder. It was also the Brewers' first leadoff home run this season. Up next The Red Sox haven't named a starter for Tuesday's game, with manager Alex Cora saying it will likely be a bullpen game. Aaron Civale (0-1, 9.00 ERA) will start for the Brewers. ------ AP MLB:

Jackson Chourio, pitchers guide Brewers over Red Sox
May 26 - Jackson Chourio homered on the first pitch from Garrett Crochet and Trevor Megill stranded the bases loaded in the ninth inning as the Milwaukee Brewers held on for 3-2 victory over the visiting Boston Red Sox on Monday in the opener of a three-game series. The Red Sox, who had scored just one run in each of their last two games, trailed 3-1 after eight innings before rallying against Megill. Trevor Story and Rob Refsnyder walked, and Jarren Duran punched a two-out single to right to score Story from second. Rafael Devers was intentionally walked to load the bases, but Megill got Connor Wong on a flyout to right for his 10th save in 11 opportunities. Milwaukee starter Chad Patrick allowed three hits over 4 2/3 innings, striking out six and walking two. DL Hall (1-0), activated earlier Monday off the 60-day injured list, followed with 2 1/3 innings and Abner Uribe finished the eighth before giving way to Megill. Crochet (4-4) allowed two runs on five hits in 6 2/3 innings, striking out 11 and walking two in a 108-pitch outing. Chourio staked the Brewers to a 1-0 lead in the first with his first career leadoff home run, sending the first pitch from Crochet 413 feet to left-center for his eighth homer. The Brewers made it 2-0 in the fifth when Joey Ortiz hustled out a double on a grounder up the middle and Andruw Monasterio lined an RBI double over the bag at third. Boston got on the board in the eighth when Devers' leadoff walk chased Hall. Uribe entered and Carlos Narvaez singled Devers to third. Kristian Campbell followed with an RBI fielder's choice. The Brewers answered in the bottom half, loading the bases on two walks and a single. Eric Haase dribbled an RBI infield single with two outs to make it 3-1. --Field Level Media
