Henderson allows 1 hit in 7 innings as the MLB-leading Brewers beat the Rangers 6-1
Milwaukee Brewers ace Logan Henderson limited the Texas Rangers to just one hit over seven innings, as the Brewers secured a 6-1 victory at home on Friday night. Returning to the lineup, Jake Bauers displayed his hitting prowess, reaching base five times and scoring twice, including a stolen base. Henderson (9-2) struck out seven and did not walk a batter, matching his longest outing of the season against the Dodgers in August.
The Brewers, leading the MLB with the best record (84-51), widened their lead in the NL Central, moving eight games ahead of the Chicago Cubs. Cody Bradford (0-3) faced early resistance from the Brewers, with Brice Turang contributing a bunt single and scoring on Jackson Chourio’s fly out for the first run. Christian Yelich's double in the third inning extended Milwaukee's lead to 2-0.
Danny Jansen's solo home run in the fourth inning brought the score to 3-1. Bradford's outing in the sixth inning saw him give up nine hits and three runs in 5 2/3 innings, but the Brewers rebounded in the seventh, with Bauers contributing again before scoring on Contreras' single. Milwaukee closed the game with two runs in the eighth inning, with Sal Frelick and Danny Jansen driving in two runs each. In the upcoming matchup, Rangers left-hander Cal Quantrill will take on Milwaukee's Shane Drohan.
