Brewers Defeat Braves 8-3 in Series Opener

The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Atlanta Braves 8-3, highlighted by Willy Adames' three-run homer and Jackson Chourio's two-run shot. Conversely, the Miami Marlins have troubled the Brewers in their recent series, including a 7-3 comeback victory with Josh Bell's three-run homer and a 6-2 win led by early homers from Bryan De La Cruz and Jake Burger. Milwaukee's Rhys Hoskins has been a consistent performer with homers in consecutive games. The Brewers have faced challenges with injuries, including Bryan Hudson's oblique strain, and inconsistent offense. Miami, despite a poor overall record, has shown resilience post-All-Star break, winning key games against top teams. The Marlins also made significant trades, including sending Jazz Chisholm to the Yankees.
