Solo Shots

The Brewers out homered the Giants 4-2 today, but lost the game 7 to 5. All four of the Milwaukee HRs were solo shots (as were the Giants HR). The Brewers only drew one walk in the game. If they had been able to put a few more people on base, they might have scored more runs on those homers.

The Giants had 12 hits and 6 walks, the Brewers 10 hits and 1 walk. Milwaukee was 1 for 4 with runners in scoring position, the Giants 2 for 12. So even though the Giants had a worse BA in that situation, having more men on base gave them lots more opportunities.
