Game #21 – April 20 – American Family Field
Charlotte took a 1-0 lead in the 2nd on a double by Mike Gerber and an RBI single by Anthony Santander. The Knights added a run in the 3rd when Owen Miller singled with 2 outs and scored on Adam Frazier's double into the RF corner.
Mike Clevinger retired the 1st nine men he faced before Sal Frelick led off the bottom of the 4th with an infield single. Frelick went to 2nd on a fielder's choice, stole 3rd, and scored on a sacrifice fly.
The Knights added to their lead in the 5th on back-to-back-to-back singles by Brandon Drury, Wilson Ramos, and Jose Iglesias.
The Brewers loaded the bases with 2 outs in the bottom of the inning, but Clevinger got Jeimer Candelario to ground out to 2nd.
Gerber struck out to lead off the 6th and was ejected after arguing with the home plate umpire. With Ryan McKenna nursing a sore elbow, that forced the Knights to move Santander to center field.
Clevinger pitched 8 outstanding innings, allowing 1 run in 2 hits while striking out 3 and walking 4. Owen Miller's 2-run single in the 8th was icing on the cake, making the score 5-1. Jorge Alcala pitched the 9th.
Final Score: Charlotte 5, Milwaukee 1
WP: M. Clevinger (2-1)
LP: C. Burnes (2-2)
Record: 11-10
Player of the Game: Mike Clevinger
TRANSACTION: Charlotte claimed Rockies 1B Elehuris Montero off waivers. Montero plays a decent 1B, can also play at 3B (not very well), and ultimately will probably be more of a DH-type if he sticks. He has below average contact ability but above average power and, like many others in the Knights lineup, not a lot of speed. Charlotte has not announced a corresponding roster move yet.
News: Los Vegas P J. T. Ginn will miss the season with a torn ulnar collateral ligament. Juan Soto extended his hitting streak to 20 games.
