Tyrone Taylor - Socks 10th homer Taylor went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo home run in a 14-4 loss to the Pirates during the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.
Impact He took Bryse Wilson deep in the top of the fourth inning, tying the game at 4-4, but it was all downhill from there for Milwaukee. Taylor hadn't gone yard since July 24, snapping a 15-game homer drought during which he'd slashed .231/.286/.365, and on the season the 27-year-old is batting .249 with 10 homers and 37 RBI through 80 contests.

Kolten Wong - Swats ninth homer Wong went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in a 14-4 loss to the Pirates during the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.
Impact He led off the game with his ninth homer of the year and first since July 24, but things didn't go Milwaukee's way for long. Wong is having a sluggish start to August, batting .195 (8-for-41) through 11 games, but he has hit safely in three straight.

Rowdy Tellez - Provides pinch-hit homer in victory Tellez came off the bench and cracked a pinch-hit, two-run home run in Saturday's 6-0 win over Pittsburgh.
Impact Tellez hit for Milwaukee reliever Brad Boxberger in the sixth inning and sent a Chris Stratton offering over the right-field wall to give the Brewers a 5-0 lead. It was the 10th homer of the year for Tellez, six of which have come with Milwaukee. The 26-year-old is hitting .333/.407/.613 in 86 plate appearances since being acquired from Toronto. He's had hot streaks like this in the past for the Blue Jays but it remains to be seen whether Tellez can remain productive over a longer duration.

Brett Anderson - Bounced by Bucs Anderson (4-6) took the loss in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates, surrendering six runs on eight hits and a walk over 3.1 innings. He struck out four.
Impact The veteran southpaw made it through two innings unscathed before the wheels started coming off in the third. Anderson came into the weekend with a 1.40 ERA and 0.82 WHIP over his last five starts and 25.2 innings, so perhaps he was overdue for a dud. On the season, the 33-year-old carries a 4.09 ERA and 48:20 K:BB through 77 innings.

Avisaíl García - Pops homer in return to action Garcia (hand) went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates.
Impact Making his first start since Tuesday, Garcia got the nod in right field and hit cleanup and launched a homer to left-center field in the seventh inning to round out the scoring. It was the 21st longball of the year for Garcia, a new career high. The 30-year-old is slashing .269/.334/.486 in 398 plate appearances on the year.

Aaron Ashby - Fires four scoreless frames Ashby blanked the Pirates over four innings Saturday, allowing just three hits and striking out four. He did not factor into the decison.
Impact Ashby started the back end of Saturday's doubleheader -- just his third major-league outing -- and was firmly in command, throwing 41 of his 58 pitches for strikes while limiting the Pirates to just three singles. Ashby was rocked in his major-league debut back in June, giving up seven runs (four earned), but he's spun six straight scoreless innings over two appearances since being recalled from Triple-A Nashville earlier this week. Ashby may not stick as a starter as Milwaukee's rotation gets healthier, but he's certainly making a case to have a role with the big-league club down the stretch.

Eric Lauer - Starting Sunday vs. Pirates Lauer will start Sunday's game against the Pirates, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.
Impact He has not started a game since Aug. 2 due to COVID-19 protocols. Three of his last five starts have come against the Pirates, and he has logged a 1.78 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 20 strikeouts in 25.1 innings while facing mostly poor offenses over that five-start stretch.

Colin Rea - Latches on with Brewers Rea signed a minor-league deal with the Brewers on Saturday.
Impact He has been assigned to Triple-A Nashville and is likely to start Sunday's game for the Sounds. Rea had a 2.03 ERA over 40 innings in Japan this season before leaving the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks earlier this month. He primarily worked as a starter when he was pitching stateside, and it seems possible that the Brewers could use him to eat up innings down the stretch.
