Yelich charity event: Christian Yelich held his 4th annual charity concert last night in Milwaukee, benefiting a variety of social services.
This year, the event is helping with funds for military families facing health challenges.
Yelich talked about the event.
Call him up: The performance of top Brewers prospect Cooper Pratt is pushing the team to bring him up.
Sports Illustrated points out that the team’s current starting shortstop, Joseph Ortiz, is excellent on defense, but he’s hitting under .200.
Pratt signed an eight-year extension before ever playing in the majors, worth more than 50 million dollars.
He started slowly at Triple-A Nashville, but he’s been pounding the ball for the last three weeks.
In his last nine games, Pratt has slugged four home runs, including three in the last four games.
