Colin Rea shines in his longest outing since 2016 as Brewers defeat Blue Jays 3-

MILWAUKEE (AP) Colin Rea allowed just three hits while working seven innings for his longest outing in eight years, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a 3-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night. Jackson Chourio and Willy Adames went deep for the Brewers, who had gone without a homer in their last five games. Milwaukees last homer before Monday came a week ago when Rhys Hoskins connected against his former team in a at Philadelphia. Rea (5-2) threw 85 pitches, struck out four and allowed one run, on a third-inning homer by Alejandro Kirk. The last time Rea had gone seven innings was on June 7, 2016, when he was pitching for the San Diego Padres in a 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves. We just established that heater down and away to the righties, and they were super aggre sive, Rea said. They were making early contact. I think that helped. Defensively, we did a great job tonight just being in the right spots and making plays. I thought me and (catcher) William (Contreras) got on the same page early. He sensed Minnesota Twins Jersey their aggre sion, so we kind of used it to our advantage." Spencer Horwitz's two-out single brought the tying run to the plate in the ninth before Brewers second baseman Brice Turang made an outstanding play to end the game. Turang went far to his right to field a grounder by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. up the middle and throw him out at first. Trevor Megill worked the ninth for his 10th save in 11 opportunities. Kirk opened the scoring by sending a 2-1 pitch from Rea over the left-field wall. The 405-foot drive was Kirks second homer of the year, and first since April 28. But the Blue Jays couldn't do much else against Rea. He has a lot of pitches, Kirk said through a translator. He was mixing the pitches very well. You've got to give that to him. ... He was locating. The Brewers tied it in the bottom of the third on Chourios homer to left-center. Adames then put Milwaukee ahead in the fourth with a 417-foot drive, also to left-center. Adames 10th homer of the season tied Hoskins for the team lead. He added a sacrifice fly in the sixth. Adames had entered Monday with just two hits and one RBI over his last seven games. It didnt affect his defense or his leadership, Brewers manager Pat Murphy said of Adames' slump. Its a testament to him. Ive seen him hit that same home run 20 times since I've been here. Slider kind of down in the zone, right in that same spot. Toronto's Jos Berros (5-5) struck out four and allowed three runs, five hits and one walk in 5 2/3 innings. That ended a streak of six straight games in which Toronto starting pitchers had allowed no more than two runs. The game included an unusual moment in the fourth inning when Guerrero fouled off a pitch and lost his grip on the bat, which went flying and got stuck in the protective net above the Blue Jays dugout. After repeated attempts to get the bat down between innings failed, the Blue Jays managed to get it down before the start of the sixth inning.
