Willy Adames Ties Brewers Home Run Record

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames celebrated his 29th birthday by extending his home run streak to five games, tying a franchise record previously held by Jeromy Burnitz (1997) and Eric Thames (2017). His three-run homer, his 29th of the season, came off St. Louis Cardinals' pitcher Andre Pallante in the first inning of Milwaukee’s 9-3 win. This achievement also places Adames among a select group of players in MLB history to hit 13 three-run homers in a single season, equaling Ken Griffey Jr.'s record from 1996. Adames has started all 138 games for the Brewers this season, contributing significantly to the team's success. With career highs in several statistical categories, he is a key player to watch as he approaches free agency. Adames expressed pride in his accomplishment, calling it a dream come true.
