Logan Henderson allowed a run in six rounds in his big debut and Milwaukee Brewers set a franchise record with nine stolen bases to earn a 14-1 victory over the visiting athletics on Sunday who claimed the rubber match in the three-game series.
Henderson (1-0), called Tuesday from Triple-A Nashville, gave up three hits, including a solo home in fifth to Seth Brown. He knocked out nine, went one and ended his excursion by knocking out the page on the sixth. Tyler Alexander threw the last three rounds for his first career rescue.
Brewers stole six bases during a four-run first inning of A’s start Jeffrey Springs (3-2), who left in the third with the right hamstring year. Milwaukee had only two hits in the inning, but got help from three walks, two errors and a driving beam.
Brewer’s previous single -game record for stolen bases was eight, on August 29, 1992 at Toronto. According to Elias Sports Bureau, the six stolen bases in the first round were the most of any MLB team in the expansion period (since 1961).
Athletics also issued seven walks and committed four errors that led to three uneven runs.
Brice Turang led by the brewers’ first with a single and stealing. Christian Yelich drew a one-out walk. Turang made a double steal when Catcher Shea Langeliers threw wildly to third. William Contreras went and Rhys Hoskins singled to make it 2-0. Contreras and Hoskins performed a double steal, then Contreras came home on a beam. Sal Frelick went second when Langelier’s throw sailed into the midfield, which allowed Hoskins to score.
The breweries made it 5-0 in the second when Turang went with two outs, stole others and scored on Jackson Chourios double.
Hoskins made it 6-0 in the third with a solo home, his third. Springs allowed another hit before he went out. He gave up six runs (four earned) in 2 1/3 rounds.
Brewers added two in the fourth on Yelich’s RBI double and another error. Contreras singled in a run in sixth. Hoskin’s base-loaded double-wiped a five-run seventh.
