Willy Adames, Brewers aim for encore against Royals

The slumping Milwaukee Brewers needed a boost, and they got one from Willy Adames on Tuesday. The shortstop blasted a three-run, ninth-inning homer to lift Milwaukee past the host Kansas City Royals 6-5 on Tuesday. The teams will play the rubber match of the three-game series Wednesday afternoon. Before Adames' heroics, the Brewers had lost three straight and six out of nine, and for the second straight night, they saw an early lead slip away against the Royals.
