Brewers Defeat Braves 4-1 with Chourio, Bauers Home Runs

The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Atlanta Braves 4-1 on Tuesday night, breaking their two-game losing streak behind strong pitching from Quinn Priester, who struck out seven over six innings while allowing only one run. Jackson Chourio was a key offensive contributor, hitting a 409-foot two-run homer in the third inning, marking his 11th home run of the season and highlighting his recent hot streak with a .309 batting average over the last 19 games. Jake Bauers added a solo home run in the sixth inning, extending the Brewers' lead, and William Contreras contributed with a bases-loaded walk in the seventh. Priester’s efficient 96-pitch outing included no walks, and Trevor Megill secured his 13th save in 15 opportunities. The Braves managed a run in the fifth inning off Ronald Acuña Jr.’s third hit of the game, but Milwaukee’s offense was enough to keep the lead. The Brewers also made roster moves ahead of the game, recalling reliever Easton McGee and optioning Grant Anderson to Class AAA Nashville, reflecting the team’s ongoing adjustments to maintain competitiveness.
