The same day that it was announced that Jared Stephenson had signed a three-year renewal of his contract with the Denver Brewers (for a bit over 355K altogether), he gave Brewers fans ample reason to rejoice as he collected 5 hits in a 13-7 extra-inning victory over the L.A. Spinners in the first game of a Sunday doubleheader.
After 2 tough losses at L.A., the Brewers took both games of the doubleheader, and needed extra frames for each. The big hit in the first game was a Grand Slam by backup firstbaseman Sam Oakley which keyed the 6-run top of the 12th inning.
Game 2 went 14 innings- a Ryan Rodgers triple key in the 2-run inning that put the Brewers on top for good.
With the doubleheader sweep, the Brewers are back within 4 1/2 games of first place, even though they remain in 5th place.
