Brewers, Tellez roll past Rays, 5-3
Davis hurt after spectacular catch
Rowdy Tellez hit two home runs and Milwaukee center fielder Jonathan Davis made a spectacular catch, sending the visiting Brewers past Tampa Bay Rays, 5-3.
Tellez has five home runs and eight RBI in his past six games.
Tellez hit his 15th homer, a tiebreaking, solo drive in the eighth inning to right field off reliever Calvin Faucher (1-2). In the second, Tellez homered to deep center off opener Jalen Beeks.
“Just Rowdy getting rowdy and hitting some homers for us is a big key for our offense,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said.
Davis robbed Randy Arozarena of an extra-base hit in the second when he made a flying, over-theshoulder catch while crashing head-first into the wall.
