Brewers surge to victory in Anaheim
The Milwaukee Brewers secured a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night in Anaheim, California, a win that propelled them to the top of the National League standings at 69-41.
Jake Bauers ignited the offense with his 20th home run in the fourth inning, tying the game before Brice Turang delivered the go‑ahead RBI in the eighth. Jackson Chourio doubled and scored, while William Contreras added a double for Milwaukee.
Reliever Chad Patrick earned the win, striking out five and allowing just one hit over two shutout innings, while starter Robert Gasser limited the Angels to one run on four hits through five frames.
The Angels used a bullpen game after starter Brent Suter walked three and struck out one in two no‑hit innings. Mike Trout went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored, and Jorge Soler doubled and drove in a run, but the club fell to its fifth consecutive loss.
With the victory, Milwaukee’s momentum builds as they chase a playoff push, while Los Angeles looks to break its skid after a turbulent week that included Jose Soriano being scratched due to trade rumors.
