Overview
- Milwaukee improved to 19-16 with a 6-2 win at St. Louis, where Andrew Vaughn homered for three runs in his first games back from the injured list.
- Jackson Chourio returned from a fractured left hand and reached base seven times in his first two games, collecting six hits for the second-most by a Brewer across the first two games of a season.
- Statcast measured five of Chourio’s six hits above 102 mph, including a 108.7 mph run-scoring double that underscored the quality of his contact.
- The lineup gains come for a club that has struggled for power, and the recent health uptick has started to lift Milwaukee in the NL Central standings.
- With Chourio and Vaughn back and Christian Yelich expected soon, analysts have flagged Jake Bauers as a possible trade candidate due to a squeeze on playing time.
