Gennett's soft hit carries weight in victory

MILWAUKEE -- Following a 9-4 win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday night at Miller Park, Scooter Gennett wondered aloud: Whose game-changing single was hit weaker, his go-ahead two-run single in the eighth or Paul Goldschmidt's an inning before?

"I don't know who hit their ball better, but it would be interesting to see what Statcast™ had on those balls," Gennett said.

The answer was Gennett's, which at 55.5 mph exit velocity was the softest-hit ball of the game, but the Brewers second baseman didn't mind as it had left the largest imprint on the game.
