With the Milwaukee Brewers down late to the Cincinnati Reds, new part-owner Giannis Antetokounmpo helped the team rally for a nice comeback win.
What a summer it’s been for Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo. First, he helped the Bucks win the NBA Finals over the Phoenix Suns. Then, he made headlines by becoming a part-owner of the Milwaukee Brewers.
Antetokounmpo is a Milwaukee man through and through. In terms of the Brewers, The Greek Freak is ready to support his team as much as possible.

As you can see in the video above, Antetokounmpo was going wild in the middle of the action. Entering the bottom of the seventh inning, the Brewers found themselves down 4-1 to the Cincinnati Reds. You think Antetokounmpo was going to leave early or head to the concession stands? No chance.
He tuned in as the Brewers went on to score four runs in that frame to take a 5-4 lead. Then in the bottom of the eighth inning, Milwaukee added two more runs to secure a 7-4 victory. With baby in hand and a jersey being rocked, Antetokounmpo was fired up to see Milwaukee get things done.
It’s been an unreal season for the Brewers thus far, as they’re in first place of the NL Central standings at 77-49. The club is 8.5 games ahead of the Reds and 13 games in front of the St. Louis Cardinals.
Come the postseason, Antetokounmpo figures to be right back in his favorite spot supporting Milwaukee. They’ll be ready to turn plenty of heads in the playoffs.
