A five-run sixth inning propelled Wade Miley and the Brewers to a win in Friday night’s series opener against the Cleveland Guardians.
The Brewers took a 1-0 lead in the first inning. After William Contreras doubled, Willy Adames poked a single up the middle to drive him in.
Adames would deliver the big blow in a breakout sixth inning for a Brewers’ offense that struggled against Guardians starter Shane Bieber through the first five frames.
After Contreras led off the sixth with a single and Rowdy Tellez followed with a double, Adames launched a hanging slider from Bieber out to left field for a three-run blast.
