MILWAUKEE (AP) --- Logan Henderson gave up one hit over seven innings and Jake
Bauers reached base five times and scored twice in his return to the lineup as
the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Texas Rangers 6-1 on Friday night.
Henderson (9-2), who has allowed three runs or less in each of his first 19
career starts, including 14 this season, gave up one run, struck out seven and
didn't walk a batter in matching the longest outing of his career, on Aug. 16
against the Dodgers in Los Angeles.
Bauers, who missed three consecutive games with shin splints, went 2 for 2 with
three walks, two runs scored and a stolen base.
The Brewers (84-51), who have the best record in the majors, moved a
season-high eight games ahead of the Chicago Cubs for the top spot in the NL
Central. Texas has lost 13 of its last 16 games on the road.
The Brewers jumped on Rangers starter Cody Bradford (0-3) in the first. Brice
Turang had a bunt single and took second on a throwing error. Turang tagged on
Jackson Chourio's fly out and scored on William Contreras' groundout. Christian
Yelich's run-scoring double gave Milwaukee a 2-0 lead.
Danny Jansen's solo home run off Henderson cut the lead to 2-1 in third.
The Brewers regained a two-run lead in the sixth on David Hamilton's RBI single
that chased Bradford, who gave up nine hits and three runs in 5 2/3 innings.
In the seventh, Bauers walked, stole second and scored on Contreras' single to
extend the lead to 4-1.
Milwaukee opened the eighth with consecutive bunt singles by Sal Frelick and
Hamilton and tacked on two more runs on Jackson Chourio's single and a
Contreras sacrifice fly.
