The Milwaukee Brewers notched an 8-3 win over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday to take the second game of a four-game series at American Family Field in Milwaukee.
Once again, the Brewers were clicking on all cylinders in another addition to their win column.
After his last two starts in May featured 13 strikeouts, four hits and only one walk over 13 shutout innings, Brewers left-hander Kyle Harrison opened June with another gem, this time against the team that drafted him.
Harrison struck out 12 batters, which matched his career high, while allowing four hits, two walks, and one earned run over 5.2 innings. The 24-year-old southpaw started the game out with two strikeouts before things got shaky when he gave up a triple to Luis Arraez and a subsequent walk to Willy Adames that prompted a mound visit.
After the visit, Harrison and the Brewers’ defense were able to get out of the inning. In the top of the second, he struck out two more batters and only allowed one hit.
The third and fourth innings were the highlights of Harrison's outing as he struck out the side featuring Casey Schmitt, Rafael Devers and Arraez in the top of the third. After giving up a single in the following frame, Harrison proceeded to strike out the next three batters.
After retiring the side again in the fifth, Harrison notched two more outs in the top of the sixth before giving up a solo home run to Adames and subsequently walking Matt Chapman, which prompted manager Pat Murphy to go to his bullpen and put an end to an otherwise commanding start by Harrison.
Once Harrison got through the first inning, it would not take the offense long to back him up.
After Christian Yelich and Jackson Chourio drew walks in the bottom of the first, Jake Bauers hit a two-out, three-run home run to center field for his 10th of the season. Bauers’ long ball gave the Brewers a 3-0 lead and a cushion for the defense to work with.
Even after Adames’ home run in the sixth, Milwaukee still had breathing room, especially after Brice Turang's RBI single in the bottom of the seventh inning made it a 4-1 game. However, San Francisco did not go away.
In the top of the eighth, Aaron Ashby gave up a leadoff double to Arraez, which led to his replacement on the mound in favor of Abner Uribe. Uribe then gave up two RBI singles that cut Milwaukee’s lead to just one point.
The Giants were able to threaten, but the Brewers delivered a game-sealing response by scoring four runs in the bottom of the eighth thanks to RBIs from Yelich, Chourio, and Turang.
