Contreras rips 3-run homer in 8-run inning as Gasser ends drought in Brewers’ 9-4 win over Braves

ATLANTA (AP) — William Contreras had four hits, including a three-run homer in Milwaukee’s eight-run second inning, and the Brewers beat the Atlanta Braves 9-4 on Sunday to snap a three-game skid.

Sal Frelick added a two-run double off Bryce Elder (5-5) as the Brewers matched their season high for most runs in an inning. They also scored eight runs in the sixth inning of a 13-2 win over Arizona on April 28.

After blowing a ninth-inning lead in Saturday’s 4-3 loss to the Braves, Milwaukee salvaged one win in the three-game series between NL division leaders.

Brewers left-hander Robert Gasser (1-3) earned his first win since May 15, 2024, against Pittsburgh. Gasser allowed two runs and four hits and one walk. His seven strikeouts and six innings matched career highs.

Atlanta’s Rowdy Tellez hit a two-run homer off Chad Patrick in the ninth. Mauricio Dubón had three hits for the Braves.
