MILWAUKEE, WI (WHBL) – The Milwaukee Brewers silenced the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 in their series opener from American Family Field on Monday night.
Colin Rea got the win after allowing just three hits while working seven innings for his longest outing in eight years.
Jackson Chourio and Willy Adames went deep for the Brewers, who had gone without a homer in their last five games. Milwaukee’s last homer before Monday came a week ago when Rhys Hoskins went deep against his former team in a 3-1 loss at Philadelphia.
Spencer Horwitz’s two-out single brought the tying run to the plate in the ninth before Brewers second baseman Brice Turang made an outstanding play to end the game. Turang went far to his right to field a Vladimir Guerrero Jr. grounder up the middle and throw him out at first.
Trevor Megill worked the ninth for his 10th save in 11 opportunities.
Milwaukee remains first in the NL Central at 39-27.
The Brewers and Blue Jays play game two of the series Tuesday night with pregame coverage on WHBL beginning at 6:35.
