The Monroe County Region’s two Major League Baseball players made contributions to their team’s victories Sunday.
Bedford graduate Joey Wiemer went 1-for-5 with a run scored in his second MLB game with the Milwaukee Brewers Sunday.
He also made a couple of alert baserunning players and made a nice running catch into foul territory in right field to help the Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 9-5.
Gibraltar Carlson’s John Schreiber earned his first hold of the season for the Boston Red Sox in a 9-5 victory over Baltimore.
He threw one inning, giving up no hits and one walk while striking out two. Schreiber has thrown two scoreless innings this season.
