Brewers accomplish rare feat by scoring in every inning

The Milwaukee Brewers became the 16th team in MLB history to score at least one run in every inning they came to bat during Thursday's 11-3 trouncing of the Atlanta Braves at Miller Park.

It marked the first time a team has accomplished the feat since the Detroit Tigers defeated the Colorado Rockies 11-5 on Aug. 2, 2014. Both the Braves and Tigers were the home teams in their respective games, so neither batted in the ninth inning.

The offensive barrage backed another solid outing from right-hander Matt Garza, who allowed two runs over six frames to win his third straight start.

The Brewers hit three homers during the romp - including a two-run shot from Chris Carter, his 27th of the season - and pounded out 14 hits on the afternoon. Braves starter Roberto Hernandez bore the brunt of Milwaukee's attack, surrendering five runs on seven hits in just four innings.

Scooter Gennett and Hernan Perez also homered, while four Brewers notched multi-hit games. Every position player in the Brewers' starting lineup recorded at least one hit.
