The newest Milwaukee Brewers hitter is making an impact.
Eduardo Escobar hit a three-run homer and an R-B-I triple Monday night as the Brewers beat last-place Pittsburgh 6-2.
Escobar reached base four straight times in the win.
Eric Lauer started and pitched five shutout innings to claim his fourth victory.
With Josh Hader sidelined after a positive COVID-19 test, Brad Boxberger closed the game for his fourth save.
John Axford – just acquired in a trade – had opened the ninth on the mound, but gave up two runs.
Adrian Houser starts for Milwaukee tonight (August 3rd) in the second game of the three-game series against the Pirates.
First pitch on 107.9 FM WOMT is scheduled for 7:10 PM.
