Already batting .377/.500/.585 against lefties, Jonathan Villar could have become the first player in Milwaukee Brewers history to draw ten walks. Instead, he hit a two-run homer.

Chris Carter homered as well in the Milwaukee Brewers win yesterday; Chase Anderson also gave the Milwaukee Brewers another strong start.

He’s not the only prospect doing well for the Milwaukee Brewers.  Devin Williams was another prospect, who had a big day in the minor leagues yesterday.

Speaking of prospects, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Sentinal Journal had a piece of the Milwaukee Brewers latest call-up, Jacob Barnes.

Also of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal, Gary D’Amato writes of how Villar is making every moment his opportunity with the Milwaukee Brewers, calling Villar Carlos Gomez 2.0.
