Adames, Brewers beat Rockies in 11th
Milwaukee celebrates stadium’s return to full capacity with victory
Willy Adames hit a tying, two-run homer in the ninth inning and singled to set up Keston Hiura’s sacrifice fly in the 11th as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Colorado Rockies 5-4 Friday to cap a return to full capacity at American Family Field.
Billed as Re- Opening Day, the game that originally was scheduled to be played at night drew a crowd of 31,140. It was the first time the Brewers were allowed 100% capacity at a park that holds 41,700 — Milwaukee began the season at 25 percent and upped it to 50 percent on May 15.
Rays 4, Angels 3: Shohei Ohtani led off by homering for the seventh time in nine games, a long drive off an overhanging catwalk, but Tampa Bay edged Los Angeles when pinch-hitter Brandon Lowe was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. Moved up to the leadoff spot, Ohtani hit a drive estimated at 453 feet off the D-ring in right field at Tropicana Field, only the 39th ball to reach that spot since the park opened in 1998.
Braves 3, Reds 2: Guillermo Heredia homered, doubled and made a defensive gem before crashing into the wall in the eighth inning in his return to Atlanta’s lineup, helping the Braves beat Cincinnati.
Marlins 11, Nationals 2: Kyle Schwarber hit his 13th home run in the last 14 games but Miguel Rojas hit a three-run homer in a four-run first inning and Miami went on to beat Washington.
Rangers 9, Royals 4: Nate Lowe’s three hits included his first career triple in the majors as Texas dominated their former All-star Mike Minor and beat Kansas City.
Twins 8, Indians 7: Luis Arraez hit two triples and a tiebreaking two-run double in the sixth inning, sparking Minnesota.
