Bolstered by early power and a stellar Adrian Houser pitching performance, Friday’s 7-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates was smooth sailing for the Crew.
It was, fittingly, human flint Willy Adames, who put the Brewers on the board first with a solo homerun with two outs in the first inning to left center field. Adames crushed a 430 feet homer on his first swing of the game.
WRC 135+ hitting Jace Peterson tacked on another run in the second with another long homer that traveled an estimated 450 feet and 108.
