VIDEO: Keston Hiura Rips 1st Home Run of September as Brewers Claw Back vs Padres
By Scott Rogust
Milwaukee Brewers phenom prospect Keston Hiura last hit a home run on Aug. 28 against the St. Louis Cardinals. Injuries derailed his campaign towards the end of summer, but he's back in the fold now. Facing a 2-0 deficit against the San Diego Padres in the bottom of the sixth inning, Hiura stepped up to the plate and hit a monster solo home run to deep right-center field to pull the the Brewers within one run.
Keston's first home run in September was of the "no-doubter" variety. #ThisIsMyCrew pic.twitter.com/jDGon6aMo1

As with anything, the wait is worth it, as Hiura records his 17th homer on the year.
His return from the IL comes at a pivotal time in the year for the Brewers, who desperately needed the additional power following the loss of Christian Yelich.
