Brewers Surge, Bitonti Soars | Milwaukee Brewers News

0:00It's September 8th. I'm Cory with the story. This is Milwaukee Brewers News Today, driven by AI and built for fans. The Milwaukee Brewers are in a big series right now against the Chicago Cubs, and they took the first game on Monday, 4-3. That win put them 8 gains ahead of the Cubs in the NL Central, which is a pretty solid lead with not too much time left in the season. They're definitely looking to lock up that division title. Meanwhile, off the field, the Brewers made a significant move with one of their prospects. They promoted Eric Bytanti, a guy who's been hitting bombs in high A all the way up to AA. This kid's got some serious pop already hitting 25 home runs this season. Beatanti was drafted just last year and is already showing he can hit for power. He's also got some wheels, stealing 24 bases and only getting caught once. Gouts are looking at him as a potential 30 home run guy and the big leagues down the line. Now the team is challenging him by moving him up to AA for the final stretch of the minor

1:00league season. It's a big step, but it shows they believe in his potential to develop quickly. The Brewers are focused on winning each game and they've got their ace, Jacob Misiorowski, on the mound for the second game of the series tonight. This pitch is scheduled for 7.40pm Eastern time.
