Logan Henderson allowed just one hit in seven innings as the Milwaukee Brewers overcame the Texas Rangers 6-1 on Friday night. Jake Bauers, returning to the lineup after missing three games with shin splints, contributed by reaching base five times and scoring twice. Henderson (9-2) matched his longest outing of the season, allowing three runs or fewer in his first 19 career starts.
Bauers went 2 for 2 with three walks, two runs scored, and a stolen base. The Brewers (84-51) extended their lead to eight games at the top of the NL Central with this win. Texas has lost 13 of their last 16 games on the road. In the first inning, Brice Turang's bunt single and Jackson Chourio's fly out set the stage for William Contreras' groundout, putting the Brewers ahead 2-0.
Danny Jansen's solo home run in the third inning narrowed the gap to 2-1. The Brewers regained a two-run advantage in the sixth inning, with David Hamilton's RBI single and Christian Yelich's run-scoring double extending the lead to 4-1. In the seventh inning, Bauers' walk, stolen base, and Contreras' single helped Milwaukee extend the lead to 4-1.
The Brewers will face Texas starting pitcher Cal Quantrill (6-4, 2.90 ERA) in their next matchup on Saturday.
