Milwaukee Brewers
MILWAUKEE, WI (WSAU) — The Athletics put up a pair of 9th-inning runs, but Trevor Megill still managed to nail down his second save of the season in a 5-3 victory on Friday.
Christian Yelich had a pair of run-scoring singles, bringing home Jackson Chourio in the 3rd and Brice Turang in the 5th. He also produced an RBI groundout in the 7th to score Caleb Durbin.
Chourio added a double and one RBI on the night. Durbin recorded two hits.
Freddy Peralta pitched five innings and scattered seven hits to earn his second win of the season. A parade of five relievers, including Nick Mears (6th) and Abner Uribe (7th), helped shut the door on the A’s.
Bryan Hudson started the ninth but gave up two runs, two walks, and a base hit while recording just one out. Megill was called on to put out the fire, inducing a sacrifice fly (run charged to Hudson) and a groundout to preserve the win.
The Athletics, playing without a geographic identifier for the next three years while their new stadium in Las Vegas is built, fall to 9-11 on the season. Milwaukee improves to 11-9. The same two teams will play again Saturday evening with coverage starting at 5:35 on WSAU.
