Rafael Devers Sets Red Sox Record with Home Runs in Six Straight Games

Brewers Begin Series Against Marlins Amid Roster Changes and Thrilling Plays
The Milwaukee Brewers kick off a three-game series against the Miami Marlins at loanDepot Park on Monday night, continuing their nine-game, 10-day road trip. After dropping two out of three games in Houston over the weekend, the Brewers are looking to bounce back strong.
Exciting Roster Moves! Milwaukee made several roster changes before the game. The biggest highlight is the recall of right-hander Bradley Blalock from Class AA Biloxi. Blalock is set to make his major-league debut, becoming the 40th player to take the field for the Brewers this season. To make room for him, right-hander Thyago Vieira was designated for assignment. Additionally, outfielder Joey Wiemer was reinstated from the 10-day injured list, while outfielder Chris Roller was optioned to Class AAA Nashville.
Joe Ross Leaves Early Joe Ross started on the mound for Milwaukee but had to leave the game after just one inning due to a low-back strain. He threw only 15 pitches, navigating around a one-out walk and a single by inducing a double play to end the inning. Left-hander Jared Koenig took over from there.
Heads-Up Play by Yelich A standout moment came in the sixth inning with Christian Yelich's smart base running. After drawing a walk and stealing second, Yelich advanced to third on a throwing error by Marlins catcher Nick Fortes. With Joey Ortiz at the plate, Yelich seized an opportunity, racing home and scoring on a casual throw back to the pitcher, making it 2-0 with his second stolen base of the inning. What a veteran move by Yelich!
Brewers' First Baserunners Milwaukee struggled early on against Marlins' left-hander Ryan Weathers. Joey Ortiz became the Brewers' first baserunner when he was hit by a pitch in the fourth inning. In the fifth, Andruw Monasterio broke up a budding no-hitter with a home run to straightaway center field, just out of Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s reach. Owen Miller followed with a double off Chisholm’s glove but was left stranded.
