RF Domingo Santana clouted his 30th homer of the year in the third inning Saturday, the first time he has done that in his career. Santana became the third Milwaukee player to slug 30 homers this year, marking only the second time in franchise history that has happened. The first was in 1982 when Gorman Thomas, Ben Oglivie and Cecil Cooper finished with 39, 34 and 32, respectively.

RF Domingo Santana was 1-for-3 with a solo homer and two walks Wednesday at Pittsburgh. The homer, his 27th, came in the third and gave Milwaukee a 2-0 lead. It was his second home run in as many nights. For the three-game series, he was 3-for-7.

OF Domingo Santana returned to the lineup after missing one game to a back strain. He went 2 for 4 with a home run, his 26th of the year.

He drove in three runs Sunday, as well, and now has multiple RBIs in three of his past four contests, driving in eight runs total during that stretch.

OF Domingo Santana was scratched before the game because of tightness in his right trapezius. Manager Craig Counsell said Santana hurt himself during Milwaukee's game Tuesday and he decided to rest the .276 hitter to give him two full days off before a weekend series with the Marlins.

RF Domingo Santana has appeared in 131 games, including 120 starts in right field. He has proven to be durable, but also consistent at the plate, leading the Brewers in on-base percentage, runs and hits, and ranks second in RBIs, entering Monday's game. "Domingo is consistent," said Brewers manager Craig Counsell. "He had one little stretch post All-Star break. Everybody has that at some point of the season. He's also had those games where he's carried the load by himself." Santana went 1-for-4 on Monday.

OF Domingo Santana hit two home runs and now has nine homers on Sundays to tie Giancarlo Stanton, Nelson Cruz and George Springer for the most on the final day of the week. Santana is hitting .306 with 14 home runs during day games this season.

RF Domingo Santana was given a rest day. He has 10 hits his past 68 at-bats, dropping his batting average from .293 to .269, and has appeared in 117 of Milwaukee's first 123 games, including 107 starts in right field. "I can't remember his last day off, honestly," manager Craig Counsell said. "I know we've had days off with the schedule. I think this is a little different. It's a little bit of a mental break for him. I was hoping to get him one, and this is kind of the one I had targeted."

RF Domingo Santana was back in the lineup a night after getting hit by a pitch in the wrist. Santana was then hit again in the third inning by a pitch from Twins RHP Ervin Santana. He stayed in the game and scored a run.

OF Domingo Santana left Sunday's game after being hit by a pitch. He has a right wrist contusion and is listed as day-to-day. He said he hopes he can be back in the lineup for Monday's game at the Twins. The Brewers shifted Hernan Perez from third to right field to replace him, with Travis Shaw taking over at third.

RF Domingo Santana hit a go-ahead solo home run, his 16th long ball of the season, to give Milwaukee a 2-1 lead in the eighth inning Wednesday at Pittsburgh. He went 3-for-5 with two runs. "He's swinging the bat well," manager Craig Counsell said. "The reason he's hitting (leadoff) is you want to try to get him up a lot. He got us started in the first inning with a double. ... And then the homer, (Juan Nicasio) is really tough on right-handed hitters, but Domingo's got that opposite-field power."

OF Domingo Santana went 1-for-3 with a walk Sunday and has now reached base in 13 consecutive games with a hit in seven in a row. Santana is batting .422 (19-for-45) during his on base streak and is 12-for-26 at the plate over the last seven contests, with six doubles, a home run and six RBIs.
