Brewers vs. Giants Game Highlights (7/27/26) | MLB Highlights

The Brewers are making their way west starting a three game series with the San Francisco Giants. Oracle Park, home of the Giants, a beautiful night for baseball here in the Bay Area. They are among the better teams in Major League Baseball. The Dodgers have the best record by just one game. The Brewers coming in and starting this road trip with a 66-39 record, a season-high 27 games, above .500. On the hill tonight for the Giants will be that gentleman right there, Tyler Malley. Two and nine with a 5-3-1 ERA. At home here, however, in eight starts is ERA 3.00. He's done very well in the friendly confines of Oracle Park. So here's Christian Yelich to lead things off. Chopper to Devers. And that's how this game gets started. So here's Jackson Chiro. Chiro hitting .277 with 13 home runs, 40 driven. He's never faced Malley. High fly ball in the park to right field. And McCray puts it away for out number two. And that'll get Bryce Turang to the plate. Bryce has been swinging it well of late. Winning for 29 on that home stand with a home run and two driven in. On the ground, Devers. Malley, 3-1 on the put-out. Side retired. And they get Brandon Sproat imperative. He gets off to a good start in his first inning. Not an easy way to start your day, too, with Luis Araiz at the plate. He has got three batting titles under his belt. But he last pitched on Tuesday against the Mets. Took the loss, giving up just two earned runs, but only covered four two-thirds. And he struck him out. Chase to force Seamer off the plate away. And Araiz, who doesn't strike out much, strikes out to begin the bottom of the first inning for San Francisco. One away for Elliott Ramos for San Francisco. Ramos goes to right. It's deep. Bowers is back and makes the catch. See that sun? And now the ball pops out. And they're going to say no catch. Jake Bowers had it and then dropped it. Yeah, it just popped out. It wasn't on the transfer. So it'll be an E-9 that allows Elliott Ramos to end up at second base here with one away. And here's Bryce Eldridge. And the runner goes. And he made it. Ramos. That's a big steal. He's one out. He steals third. Strikes out Eldridge. Second strikeout of the inning for Sproat. And that's a big one considering a runner with third and less than two outs. It's not two away. Infield can play normal depth. Devers on the ground to second base. Terang takes care of it. It's a zero for Sproat in the firsts. Bowers rips one towards center. It's a base hit for Bowers. First hit of the night belongs to Jake Bowers. And the Brewers have a man on with one away for Andrew Vaughn. Pitch is down and away and Vaughn works the walk. Two on with one away for Garrett Mitchell. Up the middle. Malish Spears it. That's one. And two. Mallee did it himself. That ball was ticketed to center field. And he turns a 1-6-3 double play. Casey Smith stands in. A little pop up down the right field line. And it's going to fall. And Smith turns his ankle. Unbelievable. He rounded first and turned his ankle. It's not looking good. It didn't look like much right when it happened. But if you get all your weight going and you're trying to stop, I think that's what happened. I don't know if it was the ankle or the knee. He's coming out. You sit there and hold your breath until you get the results from the MRI. Here's Gilbert. Koss now the runner. He'll play third. Fly ball to center. Caught by Mitchell. Little bunny hop near the wall. Koss back to first. I think Drew Gilbert thought he got that ball. Koss back at first. Here is Willie Adamas. Runner goes. And Koss has got it stolen. He stole that without a throw. That's impressive. Three and two the count. The pitch. Outside. And he gets a walk. So now two men on. And here comes Grant McRae. So some traffic for Sproat to try and navigate. Now this is the same situation the Brewers had in the top of the second inning. Linnea at first and second and one away. And Mitchell hit into the 1-6-3 double play. Brewers would like that result here. McRae line drive. Caught. They're going to have four to six. It goes. McRae hit it right to Bryce Terang. And a double play gets Sproat out of hot water in the second inning. Very first pitch of the bottom of the third inning. And Jesus Rodriguez, Giants ninth place hitter, hit it straight down the right field line for a leadoff extra base hit. Nicely done. Second straight inning where the Giants have had the leadoff man aboard. And now a rise comes up. A rise struck out his first time up. And he rolls in the right field to base hit. And here comes Rodriguez. Foul is with the throw. Cut off. A rise with the hit. Giants lead 1-0. A rise was not going to strike out this time. And on the very first pitch, he just pulled one through the hole into right field for an RBI single. 1-0 Giants ahead. It's happening fast here in this inning. Two pitches and a run. Here comes Eldridge. A rise at first. One down. 1-0 Giants. Here's the pitch. A rise runs. Eldridge takes down and away. The throw balloons out towards second base. And a rise slides in safely. Wow. This guy is so hard to steal against. And it must be that the Giants are largely doing this against Sproat. It was a really good jump from a rise. But that's the third steal already for the Giants in the first three innings. Eldridge to Sproat. For out number two, a rise heads to third. The two away for Devers. Devers into the ground. Sproat bobbles Vaughns there. Touches the bag. It'll go 1-3 on the put out. A little ugly, but it gets the job done. It'll be a two-out single. Adamas is on base for the second straight time. Well, here's round two with Grant McCray and Brandon Sproat. He had a great at bat. He lined out with a runner at first and second. He lined into a double play. Did a line drive right at Terang. High drive to left. Hit well. It is on it. And it's 3-0. Career home run number six. His first hit of the year. How about that? And he goes opposite field to do it. That's an impressive swing of the bat. He's had two great at bats. He had a pretty good idea that he got it. His last at bat, we suspected that Sproat and McCray came close after the line drive double play. Sproat said something to McCray like, hang with him, kid. Well, right now, McCray's got bragging rights. Giants 3, Brewers nothing. Brewers have one hit. Vaughn down the right field line slicing. McCray slides and knocks it down. It's a single for Andrew Vaughn. Pretty good play by McCray. Couldn't come up with a catch, but at least he kept Vaughn off second base. But now with one out, second hit for the Brewers. And here is Garrett Mitchell. Hit on the ground. Could be a pair. Adamas will take it himself. Side retired. Mitchell runs well, but not well enough. Second double play into which Mitchell has hit. So the pitch count, that's kind of manageable. He's been fairly economical. Averaging a little bit less than 15 pitches per inning. He walked it. It's his first walk. He's not happy about it. That is the first time in this game that the Brewers have gotten their leadoff man on base in any inning. It's the eighth place hitter. You got Ortiz up now. Then the top of the order. On the ground. Four, six, three. Another double play. That's their third of the game. Well, it comes after a leadoff walk, so Malley will feel a little bit better about this. Whenever he's needed, he's gotten that double play ball. Now to wind up the one-two pitch. Swings and misses at a splitter. Strike three. We go. Six shutout innings now for Malley. Only two hits. Sprode is back out there. He's at 83 pitches. Bodies are moving around in that Brewers bullpen. Nobody is throwing as of yet, but that will probably change at some point in this inning. Strike three called. Granted, Sprode strikes out Christian Koss, and that was not a strike, but Sprode will take it. So Gilbert is aboard with one away, and that will get Willie Adonis to the plate here. Adonis hits one high, but it's going to be in the park. Churio, 10 feet shy of the warning track. He's got it. On number two. Gilbert will go back to first. Now here's McCray, who did not miss his spot in the fourth inning. He launched one and hit it right off the barrel to the opposite field, left center field. Almost got him at first. Almost. The Brewers may take another look at it, and they're going to challenge him. The Brewers don't challenge unless they really know that something's going to be overturned, and it looks like they got him right on that hip before that hand gets in there. Call is overturned. The runner's out. Milwaukee will retain his challenge. So two pick-offs in the game for Brandon Sprode is through six quality innings in San Francisco. So that's a lead-off single. Tony Vitello is on the top step of the dugout. He got the left-handed hitter to rank. He may be coming to make a pitching change right here, right now. So that's interesting. That's a pretty quick hook. Tyler Mallee did a great job tonight. And listen to this nice ovation for Tyler Mallee. And the runner first base is his, and it's now in charge of Sam Hentges, who comes in for the 28th time, one and three with a 2-6-6 ERA. Got him. And there's the two-strike surprise, and that's a big strikeout. Churio still at first base. 2-1 pitch is hit to right field and fairly well hit. McCray going back. He'll make the catch on the warning track. About halfway, he jogs back to first. Two down. Well, it was going to be Bowers, but Bowers, who in some ways has been about the best overall hitter for Milwaukee, is going to come out of this game. The Brewers are going to use a pinch hitter here. This is one of their other young new guys, Luis Laro. And that one gets away from Rodriguez way down and in. Churio's going to advance to second on what'll probably be ruled as a wild pitch. It was way away from the target. It kind of handcuffed Rodriguez and almost hit Lara. On the ground. Devers going to toss high, and... Holy smokes! It pays to be 6'8". There's the jump. Sees the bag. Drops that size 15 on it and walks off the field. How about that? Giants have a 3-0 lead. Daniel Susak does take over at catcher. Dylan Smith is the new pitcher. Now Garrett Mitchell. Swing and a miss. He struck it out. The high hard one. 97, and that was up out of the zone. Pratt, who's flied out deep to left center and walked. Swings and grounds one to short over to his left. Adamas has it. Throws him out at first. That's a 3-up, 3-down inning. And now here's Eric Miller. Miller, 36th appearance. He's got two saves on the year. Right back to Miller. Takes his time. One out. So here's Yelich. Straight three called with a sinker at the knees. Beauty. Brewers are down to their final out. It's Jackson Churio. Churio has one of the three singles for the Brewers tonight. Straight three called at the knees with a sinker. Man, Miller was never better. He made short work of the Brewers. Game one of the series goes to the Giants.
