Thames sets Brewers record with 11th April HR
Eric Thames crushes his 11th homer in April to set a team record and extend the Brewers' lead to 9-0 in the bottom of the 6thMILWAUKEE -- Common sense says there must be a hole somewhere in Eric Thames' swing, but the Reds still have not found it.
Thames lofted a two-run home run to right field in the sixth inning at Miller Park on Tuesday, giving him a homer in each of Milwaukee's six games against Cincinnati this season and 11 home runs overall, a new Brewers record for April. Not only does Thames lead the Major Leagues in dingers, he has hit more against the Reds in these six games -- eight -- than any other Major Leaguer has hit this season.
