Milwaukee's six doubles to lead the NL Central-leading Brewers to an 11-2 rout over the San Diego Padres on Friday night.
SAN DIEGO — Rowdy Tellez swatted two balls deep into the right field seats at Petco Park, which is a great sign for the Milwaukee Brewers.The Brewers had 15 hits to back left-hander Eric Lauer, who held his former team to one run and five hits in six innings. It was the second straight night a former Padres pitcher did well against his old team after Colin Rea threw 5 2/3 strong innings in a 4-3, 10-inning victory Thursday night.
“You love seeing it because he has the ability to just mash baseballs left and right," Lauer said about the burly Tellez."When he's hot and he's on and he's seeing the ball well, he's a really, really dangerous hitter. We love when he gets on streaks like that and hopes that it continues.” “I think I'm putting together better at-bats, a little bit more consistent,” Tellez said."Guys are getting on base, we’re pitching really well, we’re playing really good ball, so I think that lightens the load, too.”
“When you get a bunch of runs for your starter that always makes his job easier,” Counsell said. “It lessens pressure pitches obviously. I thought Eric was good tonight.”Wacha gave up seven runs and 11 hits in 4 1/3 innings.
