MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee Beer Team player stops the ball Willy Adames extended his home run streak to five games to equal the team record when he hit a three-run home run in the first inning of Monday’s game against St. Louis Cardinals Football Team.
Adames’ home run came off Cardinals starter Andre Pallante on his 29th goal of the season and coincidentally, it came on his 29th birthday.
Adames tied the record set by Jeromy Burnitz in 1997 and Eric Thames in 2017 as the only players in franchise history to achieve the feat.
It was also Adames’ 13th triple home run of the season, joining Ken Griffey Jr. (1996) as the only players in major league history to do so. Sammy Sosa, Tino Martinez and Hall of Famer Roy Campanella each had 12 triple home runs in a season.
The soon-to-be free agent has played in all 138 games for the Brewers, who lead the NL Central.
