The April acquisition has become Milwaukee's rotation anchor during a stretch of bullpen injuries.

Overview

  • Quinn Priester worked seven innings with two runs allowed, six strikeouts and 96 pitches, finishing by retiring the final 11 batters.
  • The Brewers have won 17 consecutive games in which Priester has appeared, spanning 14 starts and three bulk outings since May 30.
  • Jake Bauers delivered a go-ahead two-run single in the sixth, with William Contreras and Brice Turang adding two-hit nights to pace a 5-2 victory.
  • Milwaukee placed setup man Nick Mears on the 15-day injured list before the game, and Abner Uribe recorded his fifth save after Jared Koenig handled the eighth.
  • Acquired from Boston in early April, the former Pirates first-round pick has a 3.25 ERA over 26 games for Milwaukee, which holds a 5.5-game NL Central lead with 20 to play.
