The Milwaukee Brewers continued their winning ways with a 3-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday night in Denver. Christian Yelich provided the offensive spark with a home run, while Colin Rea delivered a stellar pitching performance.
Yelich, who has been heating up recently, launched a 446-foot blast to right field in the first inning for his ninth home run of the season. The Brewers also got contributions from William Contreras and Brice Turang, who both had three hits in the game.
On the mound, Colin Rea was dominant, tossing seven shutout innings while allowing just six hits and striking out four. Rea has now won his last five decisions and continues to be a reliable starter for the Brewers.
The Rockies, on the other hand, struggled to generate offense against the Brewers’ pitching staff. Dakota Hudson took the loss for Colorado, giving up three runs and seven hits over 4 2/3 innings. The Rockies were 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position and were shut out for the ninth time this season.
In the late innings, the Rockies threatened with runners on base, but reliever Jakob Junis came in and shut the door, earning his first save of the season. Junis struck out two batters in two scoreless innings to secure the victory for Milwaukee.
With the win, the Brewers have now won eight of their last 10 games and are in a strong position in the National League standings. They will look to continue their winning ways as they finish up their series against the Rockies on Thursday.
Overall, it was a solid team effort for the Brewers, with both their offense and pitching coming through when it mattered most. They will look to carry this momentum forward as they aim to make a push for the playoffs in the second half of the season.
