Kyle Harrison Strikes Out 12, Jake Bauers Homers as Surging Brewers Top Slumping Giants 8-3
The former Giants left-hander allowed one run over 5 2/3 innings and helped Milwaukee snap San Francisco’s recent skid.
On Tuesday, Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Kyle Harrison matched his career-high with 12 strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings, leading the team to an 8-3 victory against the San Francisco Giants at American Family Park.
Harrison, a Bay Area native, was traded from San Francisco to the Boston Red Sox for Rafael Devers last year, facing his former organization for the first time in his career.
Jake Bauers ignited the offense with a three-run homer in the first inning, while the Brewers added four insurance runs in the eighth to secure the commanding victory.
The Giants fell to 23-38 despite a sixth-inning solo home run from former Brewer Willy Adames, marking their seventh loss in eight games under first-year manager Tony Vitello.
On Wednesday, two-time All-Star Logan Webb takes the mound for the Giants, holding a career 2.08 ERA against Milwaukee in his second start since returning from the injured list.
