Eric Thames scored two more runs in another Milwaukee blowout, as the Brewers beat the Reds 9-4. Thames left the game with an injury, however:
Thames, who leads the majors with 11 homers, appeared to be favoring his left hamstring as he stretched before the Reds batted in the eighth. Manager Craig Counsell talked with him near first base before the two walked off the field. Jesus Aguilar replaced Thames.
Thames singled, walked and scored twice, extending his Milwaukee franchise record for April to 27.
While we think of power hitters as RBI men, they also score a lot of runs. Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, and Babe Ruth rank 3rd and tied for fourth in career runs scored. They all posted high OBPs, which help batters score a ton of runs.
