LEADING OFF: Brewers starting to bash, Scherzer's roll

May 6, 2022 by Houston Chronicle Leave a Comment

A look at what’s happening around baseball today:

SOMETHING BREWING

Milwaukee’s Willy Adames is powering a Brewers surge with seven homers in his past 10 games, including two during a 10-5 trouncing of Cincinnati on Thursday. Adames had just one homer in 16 games prior to this run, mirroring a trend for the whole team — after connecting 14 time in their first 19 games, the Brewers hit 20 homers during a six-game homestand against the Cubs and Reds.

Scherzer’s streak began last July 18 with Washington and includes his entire stint with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He’ll oppose Phillies right-hander Kyle Gibson (2-1, 2.93).

Bench coach Jayce Tingler manage against Baltimore on Thursday for the Twins, who have won 11 of their last 13 games but are coming off a 9-4 loss to the Orioles on Wednesday night. Minnesota is set to head home and host Oakland for three games. Right-hander Josh Winder is set to make just the second start of his career.

NEW ASSIGNMENT

The Mariners have sent promising rookie right-hander Matt Brash to Triple-A Tacoma for some practice out of the bullpen,…
