The Milwaukee Brewers <\/a>do not mind negative advertising as long as it helps third baseman Joey Ortiz win a place in next month\u2019s All-Star Game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, rather than just make a case for Ortiz and encourage fans to vote between innings of Tuesday’s 3-1 victory over the Rangers, when Ortiz\u2019s tie-breaking home run in the fifth was the difference, the Brewers went after the player ahead of him in the most recent round of balloting results.
\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, no surer way to get boos at American Family Field than to put 2018 NLCS antagonist Manny Machado on the scoreboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Machado\u2019s image appeared, he was booed. When it changed to Ortiz, there were cheers, then more cheers when he sent a solo home run in the fifth inning to break a 1-1 tie for Brewers \u201cstarter\u2019\u2019 Bryse Wilson, who worked six scoreless innings behind opener Hoby Milner and picked up the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI saw it when they were posting it on the big screen but I\u2019m trying not to think about it too much,\u201d said Ortiz, who is just as in the thick of the NL Rookie of the Year conversation as he is in the All-Star debate.
\n
\u201cI just want to play the game and let it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was Ortiz\u2019s seventh homer to go with a .278\/.383\/.459 slash line. His 2.5 fWAR leads all Major League rookies and ranks second among NL third basemen to the current All-Star Game balloting leader, Alec Bohm of the Philadelphia Phillies. Machado is 14th at 0.4 fWAR, but his star power has the six-time All-Star outpacing Ortiz in votes; 545,259 for Machado to 486,267 for Ortiz in the tightest race in the NL recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is how the voting works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the initial voting period through Thursday at 11am CT, fans can submit up to five ballots everyday that voting is open on MLB platforms. On Thursday, the top two vote-getters at each position (and the top six outfielders) in every league will be revealed on MLB Network, and they will progress to the second phase of voting to determine who makes the All-Star teams and starts for every league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the start of Spring Training, Ortiz was not even in the third base picture for the Brewers, who traded Corbin Burnes to the Orioles for Ortiz, left-hander DL Hall and a Draft pick just before the start of camp. But he won a position on the Opening Day roster and picked up occasional at-bats in a timeshare with Oliver Dunn. In time, Joey won the job outright, and that made all the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After scoring an impressive .791 OPS in March and April, Ortiz jumped it to .
\n
978 in May and became the first Brewers player in five years to win NL Rookie of the Month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve said it before, it kind of brings a comfortability,\u201d Ortiz said. \u201cIt helps me get locked in, seeing my name in the lineup every day. I know what I\u2019m capable of doing, and being ready for the game. All of that stuff comes into play when you\u2019re playing every day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has earned that opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know what to expect,\u201d Brewers manager Pat Murphy said. \u201cI didn\u2019t know much about the player. \u2026 When he got over here, immediately you could see his hands worked.
\n
We didn\u2019t know that because he had never really hit in the big leagues. I mean, he hasn\u2019t been a total surprise because we had good reports.
\n
But he\u2019s been well beyond. He\u2019s been great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So was Milwuakee\u2019s pitching on Tuesday, with solid work from Milner (two innings), Wilson (six scoreless innings on three hits and no walks) and Elvis Peguero (second save) on a night some of the team\u2019s top relievers were unavailable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked where it ranked among his outings this campaign, Wilson said, \u201cIt\u2019s pretty high up there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some weeks ago, Wilson was trending in Orioles social media circles after some comments praising Ortiz, referring to him as a \u201cgenerational player\u201d and offering his raw view of who won the Brewers-Orioles trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, Wilson chose to keep it simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a great player,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cAnd I\u2019m glad he\u2019s on my team.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
