The Milwaukee Brewers demolished the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday afternoon, putting up a season-high 23 hits on their way to a dominant 17-7 victory (matching their season-high run total in a game which wasn’t even as close as the final score indicated—Philadelphia scored five in the ninth). The Brewers rocked Phillies starter Jesus Luzardo, who came in as one of the best pitchers in the National League this season, while Milwaukee’s Chad Patrick delivered another solid start to put down any thoughts of a Phillies comeback after they fell behind early.
Just as they did on Friday, the Brewer offense got off to an excellent start today, when Jackson Chourio hit a jam-shot single and stole second in front of a William Contreras walk.
