Well last night the Brewers with a nice win.
Christian Yelich hit a two run homerun and Wade Miley came off the injured list to pitch four innings of one hit ball to lift the Milwaukee Brewers to a 7-2 win over the Reds.
The 37-year-old Miley was activated before the game yesterday and got the nod because so many of Milwaukee's top pitchers have been ailing.
Miley, who threw a no-hitter when he was with the Reds in 2021, was limited to 52 pitches and allowed just a run and a hit.
Bryce Wilson pitched the fifth, sixth, and seventh innings and wound up getting the win.
Brewer manager Pat Murphy was pleased with Wade Miley's outing.
Yeah, I mean, I think you got to look at his future and what's best for him, even though he's approaching 50.
see that is funny but you know he had in the fourth inning he came out of the last game so we just didn't want to accelerate he was throwing the ball great he gave us a huge lift just his tempo in the way he controlled the game early gave us breathing room
And Kristen Yellich with a home run early gave the Brewers some momentum.
good elsewhere in baseball.

digging deep.
All season long, guys have been in and out of lineups.
We've had to adjust.
We've been through it all this year.
Been through a lot of adversity, coaching changes, lineup changes.
You name it, we've been through it.
So we're a battle-tested team, especially over the years.
So once one guy goes down, man, this next man, up mentality.
Jamie and Lillard says the Bucks have talent up and down the lineup and over the bench as well to make up for the loss of Yanis.
We're a deep team.
You know, obviously, uh, Yanis is the head of the snake, you know, when he's out there, we're at our best, but we got a lot of guys in our locker room.
You know, we got vets and, uh, I think tonight we just understood, uh, what the mission was.
We knew that we was going to be a couple guys down and we knew how we had to play.
We knew what kind of energy we needed to have.
And, um, I thought we came right and played that way from the start.
