In Milwaukee's victory, Wong drove in all five runs. There is a time and a place for this.
Brandon Woodruff and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-1 on Thursday night.
Wong hit a two-run home run. He hit a two-run shot in the sixth and a solo shot in the eighth.
Wong has 15 homers on the season, which is a career high.
Wong doesn't hit three home runs very often. I tried to do too much in the past. I kept my swing tight and didn't do a lot.
Each of Wong's first two homers came after leadoff walks.
The manager said they had four hits. It was pretty amazing. He was a one man show.
Wong hit three homers in a single game. On July 17, 1987, Dale Sveum did it against the Angels, and on May 7, 2016 he did it against the Reds.
The Brewers opened a four-game set against the Reds with a 2-0 victory. They were 212 games behind Philadelphia for the third wild card.
The pitcher struck out 11.
In his last three starts, the right-handed pitcher has struck out 32 people. In his four starts against the Reds, he has struck out at least 11 batters in three of them.
"I think it begins with rhythm and timing," he said. I'm getting ahead more every day. They need to swing early.
Counsell thinks the right-handed pitcher is rounding into form after missing most of June with injuries.
Counsell said that he's gotten better. He was good when he came back from the injury, but now he is even better.
Kyle Farmer hit a home run in the sixth. The pitcher struck out eight in a five-innings performance.
The sixth under 10,000 crowd of the season came for the NL Central game.
After throwing at least 100 mph in a loss at St. Louis on Saturday, he reached triple figures 15 times against Milwaukee.
"I felt like I was doing well," he said. I felt great. They hurt me. They're a good hitting team. When I face these guys, it's always a fight. They hit mistakes well. Sometimes, I pulled off. I wanted to throw a pitch to Wong. There was a leak over the plate.
