Andruw Monasterio News: Clutch three-run homer vs. Reds

Monasterio clubbed a three-run homer in the 11th inning of Saturday's 6-5 extra-innings win over the Reds.

Monasterio as a pinch hitter with runners on the corners in the 11th inning, and he wasted no time in giving the Brewers the late lead by taking the first pitch he saw from Joe La Sorsa deep to left field. It was Monasterio's second home run of the season and his biggest hit of the year, as his efforts helped Milwaukee extend its winning streak to a franchise record of 14 games. The 28-year-old infielder has seen sparse playing time in the majors this season, but he's gone 8-for-19 (.421) with four runs and seven RBI in 11 games since the All-Star break.
