Contreras Rips 3-Run Homer in 8-Run Inning as Gasser Ends Drought in Brewers’ 9-4 Win
On Sunday, June 21, 2026, the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Atlanta Braves 9-4, snapping a three-game losing streak. William Contreras led the offense with four hits, including a 408-foot, three-run homer.
Against Atlanta starter Bryce Elder, the Brewers scored eight runs in the second inning, matching their season high. The team sent 11 batters to the plate, with Sal Frelick, David Hamilton, Jackson Chourio, and Brice Turang all contributing runs.
Robert Gasser earned his first win since May 15, 2024, matching a career high with seven strikeouts. Pitching a season-high six innings, Gasser allowed two runs on four hits and 97 pitches, retiring the final nine batters he faced.
With Chad Patrick securing his fourth save, the National League Central-leading Brewers salvaged one game in the three-game series against the East-leading Braves. Patrick closed the final three innings despite allowing a two-run homer to Rowdy Tellez.
The Brewers head to Cincinnati on Monday to face RHP Brady Singer, while Atlanta opens a series in San Diego. RHP Brandon Woodruff is expected to return to Milwaukee's rotation following a stint on the injured list.
