The Milwaukee Brewers continue as they take on the Atlanta Braves at American Family Field.
Follow along for live updates as Logan Henderson opposes Martin Perez in the starting pitching matchup.
Jake Bauers ends marathon at-bat with a statement
Jake Bauers had seen plenty of Martín Pérez by the time the Braves southpaw finally gave in and threw a fastball down the middle on the 12th pitch of their battle and 23rd over two plate appearances.
With the at-bat of the year, Bauers brought an end to the marathon with Pérez by driving the fastball 413 feet out to center field for a go-ahead two-run homer.
Bauers knew it, too, watching the ball sail before turning toward his dugout with an expression of satisfaction toward his work.
Pérez had probably seen enough of the Brewers right fielder by that point, having walked him on 11 pitches in the bottom of the first.
Braves open scoring against Logan Henderson
A Michael Harris RBI double just over the glove of a leaping Joey Ortiz got the Braves on the board following a leadoff Drake Baldwin walk and one-out Matt Olson single.
Logan Henderson escaped without any further damage, however, by getting a foul pop up and liner to right.
