Chourio, Bauers hit home runs to lead Brewers past Braves 4-1

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Jackson Chourio and Jake Bauers hit home runs, Quinn Priester struck out seven in six strong innings and the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Atlanta Braves 4-1 on Tuesday night.

Chourio put the Brewers on the board with a 409-foot, two-run homer in the third off Grant Holmes (3-5).

The Braves got a run in the fifth on Ronald Acuña Jr.’s single, his third consecutive hit of the game.

Milwaukee extended its lead to 3-1 in the sixth on Bauers' leadoff home run, a 410-foot shot to straightaway center. The Brewers added another in the seventh when William Contreras drew a bases-loaded walk.
