The Milwaukee Brewers bounced back against the Atlanta Braves, securing a 4-1 victory on Tuesday night, thanks to a strong performance from Quinn Priester and timely home runs from Jackson Chourio and Jake Bauers. This win marked a significant turnaround after a quiet start to their 10-game homestand.

Priester (4-2) delivered a quality start, pitching six innings and allowing just one run on seven hits while striking out seven. He found a solid rhythm, continuing a streak of strong outings where he's consistently pitched at least five innings and allowed one run or fewer in five of his last seven starts. His ERA has dropped to 3.88, showcasing his growing confidence and effectiveness on the mound.

The Brewers' offense, which had been struggling to generate extra-base hits, found a spark with the long ball. In the third inning, rookie Jackson Chourio ignited the crowd with a 409-foot, two-run homer off Braves' pitcher Grant Holmes (3-5), putting the Brewers ahead 2-0. It was Chourio's 11th home run of the season, a promising sign for the young outfielder.

Atlanta responded in the fifth when Ronald Acuña Jr. singled, driving in a run and narrowing the gap to 2-1. However, the Brewers quickly regained their momentum. In the sixth, Jake Bauers launched a solo home run to straightaway center field, extending Milwaukee's lead to 3-1. Bauers' powerful shot, estimated at 434 feet, provided a crucial insurance run and energized the team.

Milwaukee added another run in the seventh when William Contreras drew a bases-loaded walk, increasing their advantage to 4-1. The Brewers' ability to capitalize on opportunities with runners on base proved to be a key factor in their victory.

After Priester's strong outing, Trevor Megill closed out the game with a scoreless inning, earning his 13th save of the season. Megill's reliable presence in the ninth inning ensured the Brewers secured the win and evened the series against the Braves.

The Brewers' performance on Tuesday highlighted the importance of combining solid pitching with timely hitting. Priester's ability to keep the Braves' offense in check, coupled with the power surge from Chourio and Bauers, proved to be a winning formula. As the Brewers continue their homestand against tough opponents like the Cardinals, this victory provides a much-needed boost of confidence and momentum. The team improved to 26-13 when they hit a home run.
