Murphy's Brew crew playing well. They got back to winning ways yesterday, back to 20 games over 576 and 56 and the Brewers open play today with a nine game lead in the National league Central aaron Savalli making his start for the Brewers today against the San Francisco Giants. He's making his third career start against San francisco faced him last year with Tampa Bay long run Ortiz runs it down and that's how the ball game starts for, draws, the walk and a baserunner with one away for Elliott Ramos. He's become a major weapon in this giants batting order. Ball really jumps off of Elliott Ramos's bat hit in the air to left center and playable second out in the inning. Ramos is gone. Michael Conforto, the DH base hit to left center field or what you're talking about Fitzgerald tearing around second heading for third, a two out single. The Giants first hit and chapman will bat here in the first inning with runners at the corners. 2 to 2 runner goes swung on and missed Giants hit strand the young giants right hander Hayden Birdsong who's on the mound 45 and a 3rd 54 strikeouts to 26 walks. Only given up eight homers three and three with a 4572, two to and he shoots one base hit just past chapman about two and pulled up around first Rice to with a leadoff single. Not easy to get one past Matt Chapman Brewers. Get a runner. Here's choro, one of baseball's hottest players, Chio to center mccray who will make the catch was kind of knuckling and mcrae got really good jump on it. Here is William Contreras. He struck him out swinging with another change up that just drops off the table. It's his changeup is seven plus 7.5 inches on the league average three to two runs. Hoskins strikes out swinging though we saw all four of birdsongs pitches and he finishes it off with a couple of strikeouts to pitch around the leadoff hit Patrick Bailey is going to begin the second for the Giants. Nothing. Nothing struck him out off speed. Second strikeout Grant mcrae is going to be the batter, struck him out swinging and the inning is over a couple of more for Aaron S Birdsong against pop up shallow center could be trouble in the, into a dive and he caught it. Grant another spectacular catch in center for the Giants that had blooper written all over it. I did not think he was going to get to that. You make a good pitch. The guy hits it softly. You want to get rewarded and it took a great effort to turn that out is playing him deep, but has that big power and that is just next level speed. He's got a different year. So, what a way here is Garrett Mitchell now and he sends one, get to Mitchell a pull it of a home run out of here. He knew he got it. It cleared the barrier out there and the Brewers have the lead home run for Garrett Mitchell is third on the year check swing. And did he go? Did not. So sanchez with a free ride and the batter is Joey Ortiz hit on a line to right into the corner and off the wall, runners will wind up at 2nd and 3rd on a double by Joey Ortiz hit the bottom of the fence out in right field. Runners are at 2nd and 3rd now and Blake Perkins is the batter. So Blake Perkins delivers an RB I with a sack fly. It's two to nothing and Bryce Tang is going to be the batter that is strike three called a little bit of anger behind that pitch from Hayden Birdsong. The inning is over. Brewers do get two to jump out early. Aaron Savalli now pitching with a lead after the Brewers get him a pair in the bottom of the second. That is a swing Then may raises the thumb on Tyro Estrada unable to check it strikeout number four for Savalli swing at him up with a fastball. Five strikeouts. Now no chance to get the Speedy Fitzgerald two out infield hit and it will get Ramos to the plate here in the third inning two on Ramos and he struck him out. Big curveball again. Ends up striking out the side. Six K's for Aaron Savalli fastball, high ball 44 pitch walk. Contreras Birds on second walk of the day. Two outs for Willie adam got round of a bloop, single diving play in center by jammed out to shallow center sinking fast base hit Contreras ends up at third that one. No to get to Estrada had the best shot of it. The second baseman runners at the corners and two outs, 12 runner goes, it's up and out Bailey throw to second. They got. Adam is caught in a run down. Fitzgerald is going to throw to third. Here comes Contreras he'll score. So the Brewers end up picking up a run little league style Fitzgerald threw behind Contreras and matt Chapman, the platinum glove award winner could not make a clean exchange bobbled the baseball and Contreras was safe. Garrett Mitchell still at the plate and it swung on and missed strike three in the dirt. Got him to chase Perkins walks on four consecutive pitches and draws the walk. So back to back walks here got the first two men out, a strikeout and a pop up and now, Bob Melvin coming out three and two thirds innings from the starter. Right hander sean Jelly takes over on the mound for San francisco. All 6 ft 11 inches of them. Good speed on the bases. Perkins coming in to score is Perkins to all the way from first. He is in there. Jackson Chio delivers a two RB I double and it's five to nothing. Brewers more. Two out damage for the Brew crew the best in the majors. Groundball left side that's through a base hit. Chio will score. It's a three run. Fourth inning. Milwaukee's up six came in leading major league baseball in scoring runs with two outs and they are adding to it four more today, Mitchell a big turn. He'll hold there with a leadoff single has come in. He's faced five batters now he retired. Only one of them. Come back. Jelly is going to go to second and Then with sanchez running the Giants turn the double play. That was right there from the big jelly and the 12 pitch is swung on in, got him with the curve and ends up being a pretty quick inning Brewers starter Aaron Savalli still out there working on a two hitter right now. It's six nothing swing and a miss a slow curve from that thing rolled in there at 75 miles an hour for his seventh strikeout. Michael is the batter and hits a rocket to first and Savalli in a close race beatty inning over for San Francisco. Still six nothing Brewers in the bottom of the sixth. It's six nothing Brewers. There's at 1st and 3rd here with two outs. He struck him out with that curveball and he's able to pitch around the walk and the hit Savalli has been in the rocking chair. He faced five batters in the first inning. The Giants had two on with two out and he struck out Chapman to end the inning has been cruising since he's only faced two over the minimum since the first inning. Only two hits allowed two walks and a bunch of very efficient low stress innings. And this is a well done brilliant performances retired the final nine batters that he faced one of his best starts of the year seven, scoreless innings, two hits, two walks, seven strikeouts. Give way to a left hander, aaron , he has electric stuff. Brewer signed him to a long term deal and Then the shoulder injuries came, cost him a couple of years. He just couldn't get healthy, but now he's got a chance to be a real weapon in the postseason and Ashby strikes out mcrae to start the eighth inning. This version of him is definitely going to be an asset to the Brewers. 32 roll over ground ball, Ortiz gobbles it up and throws out Canada in the inning. Ashby perfect in the eighth inning Brewers trying to finish off a six nothing shutout. Aaron Ashby in his second inning of work had a called strike three. Ashby dropping hammers in there curveball his second strikeout. Now, Ramos zero for three is flied out and has twice struck out. There's a called strike three just working those edges. Now, the left handed batting Michael Conforto and a bouncer to third, they should do it. And the Brewers with the shutout today, Ashby six up, six down three Ks coming in for Savalli who went seven scoreless and the Brewers starters in the month of August, a 31, a third best in major league baseball.
