WATCH: Gamel streaks for inside-the-park HR like a Sasquatch is loose, but Brewers still fall 4-3 to Mariners
It was quite the sight, Ben Gamel sprinting around the bases for an inside-the-park home run last night for the Brewers.
Gamel’s feat, however, wasn’t enough to spark the Brewers, who lost, again, to the Seattle Mariners — this time 4-3 at Miller Park.

A liner down the left field line that was dived for and missed allowed a very hairy Gamel to streak around the bases like a Sasquatch got loose. His trot pulled the Brewers within 3-2 in the sixth.
Oddly, an inside-the-park home run hasn’t been that rare for Milwaukee. Tyler Saladino did it in May of last season. Orlando Arcia was the last Brewer to hit an inside-the-parker at Miller Park, which was done almost exactly two years ago.
Today, the Brewers will try and break out of a 3-12 funk their last 12 games, on Game 7 of a 10-game home stand.
Chase Anderson (3-2, 4.70 ERA) gets the start for Milwaukee. He’ll face Mike Leake (7-6, 4.54).
One other note, Christian Yelich, again, didn’t hit a home run. That’s four consecutive games at Miller Park he hasn’t hit one. Before that, he hadn’t gone two games at home without going deep.
Odds of him going deep against Leake don’t look good, either. In his career, Yelich is 1-for-13 against the righty, though only three of those were strikeouts.
