Davis hits 2 3-run homers to lead Brewers past Padres, 10

Milwaukee Brewers’ Khris Davis hits a three-run home run during the eighth inning of a baseball game against the San Diego Padres Thursday, August 6, 2015, in Milwaukee. “I’m really pumped up”. “I feel comfortable again”.

“I’m hitting my spots when I need to”. “I’ve been swinging and missing a lot and not getting through the ball”. It is a enjoyable feeling. The only runner he allowed came on a walk.

Today was a good day. “His curveball was really effective”. It actually slowed hitters down and that made his fastball higher. He had struggled with his off-speed stuff prior to going on the disabled list.

The Brewers put a run on the scoreboard against Despaigne in the first inning, then added three each in the third and fourth behind a three-run homer by Davis and a two-run double by first baseman Adam Lind, who along with Davis finished with three hits.

Inconsistency and an damage finally led to Davis being changed by within the beginning lineup.

Told of Counsell’s prediction that he was ready to break loose, Davis said, “He’s got my back and everybody’s back in here”.

“You simply should get him in there to make it occur”, Counsell stated. We might have relaxed a little bit. But he helped himself at the plate, and Adrian Gonzalez hit a three-run homer to pace the NL West leaders.

In Oakland, Jed Lowrie hit an RBI double off Edward Mujica with two outs in the 10th to make up for a costly error and lift Houston over the Athletics.

In four starts since returning to action, Garza (6-12) has posted a 2.55 earned run average.

The only run against him was a Melvin Upton solo homer.

“It is uncommon that our beginning pitching and our offense each sputter on the identical day”, stated Murphy, who didn’t make his gamers obtainable after the sport.

Davis also clubbed another 3-run shot in the eighth off of Kevin Quackenbush. Solarte is batting. 405 (17-42) during the streak, with three doubles, two triples, two homers and seven RBIs.

“When you’ve got that big cushion, he knows what to do with it”, Murphy said. “The win is what’s essential”.

Brewers: RHP Tyler Cravy (0-2, 3.60 ERA) will start at home against St. Louis in Friday night.

Padres: RHP Ian Kennedy (6-9, 4.44 ERA), reinstated from paternity leave on Tuesday, looks to win his third straight decision in his 20th start of the season. INF/OF Alex Dickerson, a San Diego native, was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque and arrived in Milwaukee just moments before first pitch. Dickerson made his main league debut within the eighth, pinch-hitting for the pitcher.
