  • Delivers big blast in victory
    Ortiz went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Saturday in a 3-1 win against Cincinnati.

    Advice: All of Milwaukee's runs in the contest came on Ortiz's fifth-inning homer off Reds starter Andrew Abbott. The long ball was Ortiz's first since May 17 -- a span of 24 games. Power isn't a big part of Ortiz's profile, but he's proven plenty capable with the bat in his first full season in the majors, slashing .281/.381/.472 with six home runs, 27 RBI, 26 runs, four stolen bases and a 28:31 BB:K through 211 plate appearances.

  • Joey Ortiz homers in win over Reds
    Joey Ortiz went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a win over the Reds on Saturday.

    Advice: Ortiz has now started two straight games since battling a hamstring injury and looks to be back in his everyday role in Milwaukee. Despite being the least-heralded player in this offseason’s Corbin Burnes trade, Ortiz is proving to be quite an asset for the Brewers with six home runs and 27 RBI to go along with a .281/.381/.472 slash line in 61 games.
