Avisaíl García - Scores both runs in win Garcia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning win over San Francisco.
Impact The outfielder opened the scoring with a second-inning solo shot, his second homer in his last six games. Garcia was the initial runner for Milwaukee in the 10th inning, and he scored the winning run on a Rowdy Tellez single. With five multi-hit efforts in his last nine games, Garcia is swinging the bat well lately. He's posted an .800 OPS and .267 batting average while adding 19 homers, 67 RBI, 49 runs scored and six stolen bases through 383 plate appearances this year.

Brent Suter - Notches 11th win Suter (11-5) struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the win Friday versus San Francisco.
Impact With 11 wins, Suter ranks first in the majors among relief pitchers. He successfully stranded the initial runner in the 10th inning Friday, and Milwaukee walked it off with a Rowdy Tellez single. Suter's 1.31 WHIP suggests he's gotten a bit lucky to maintain a 2.82 ERA through 54.1 innings, but he's emerged as a fairly reliable option in high-leverage situations.

Corbin Burnes - Bounces back with quality start Burnes allowed one run on four hits and a walk with five strikeouts in seven innings, taking a no-decision versus San Francisco on Friday.
Impact The right-hander had a lackluster outing last Friday, but he bounced back in a big way versus the major-league-leading Giants. The only run on Burnes' line was a Brandon Belt solo home run in the sixth inning. Burnes has given up one run or fewer in six of his last seven starts, lowering his ERA to 2.39 with a 0.96 WHIP and 157:21 K:BB through 113 innings overall. He'll look to keep rolling next week versus the Cubs.

Christian Yelich - Not activated Friday Yelich will not be activated from the COVID-19 injured list prior to Friday's game against the Giants, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Yelich worked out on the field earlier Friday, which suggested there was a chance he would be reinstated for the series opener against San Francisco. However, the club will wait at least one more day to activate the star outfielder, with all signs pointing toward him returning at some point during the weekend series.

Impact Yelich hit the injured list in late July after testing positive for the virus but reportedly only experienced mild symptoms. That suggests he shouldn't require too much time getting up to speed following his absence, though whether or not the Brewers reinstate him ahead of Friday's contest remains to be seen.
