Oakland A's vs Brewers

Joey Estes pitched 5 2/3 innings allowing two runs, leading the Oakland Athletics to a 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers, avoiding a series sweep. Estes, who struck out five and walked one, effectively utilized his fastball and sweeper against the Brewers, who had scored 20 runs in the first two games of the series. The A's scored all four of their runs in the fourth inning, with key hits from Lawrence Butler, Brent Rooker, and JJ Bleday, and a bases-loaded walk from Shea Langeliers. Mason Miller secured his 21st save of the season, maintaining the one-run lead in the eighth inning. The Brewers' Gary Sánchez and Willy Adames contributed runs with a two-run homer and a solo shot, respectively. The A's also faced injury challenges, with pitcher Nick Mears going to the IL and Tyler Soderstrom expected to ramp up hitting progression this week.
