MILWAUKEE \u2014 Andrew Vaughn singled home the tiebreaking run in the eighth inning as the Milwaukee Brewers edged the Minnesota Twins 4-3 on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
William Contreras led off the eighth with a bloop single to center off Jeff Hoffman (6-8). Brandon Lockridge pinch-ran for Contreras and stole second.<\/p>\n
After Hoffman retired Garrett Mitchell on a fly to center, Vaughn singled to right. Lockridge made a head-first slide across the plate as the throw from Austin Martin was off line.<\/p>\n
Brice Turang went 3 for 4 and drove in two runs for Milwaukee.<\/p>\n
Trevor Megill retired the side in order in the ninth to earn his 21st save in 23 opportunities. Trevor Larnach led off the ninth with a fly ball that right fielder Luis Lara caught at the warning track.<\/p>\n
Aaron Ashby (13-2) worked a 1-2-3 eighth inning to earn the win. Abner Uribe worked the seventh inning in his 20th straight scoreless appearance.<\/p>\n
Milwaukee took an early 1-0 lead when Contreras was hit by a Taj Bradley pitch with the bases loaded and nobody out in the first inning. Bradley responded by retiring the next three batters.<\/p>\n
The Twins then capitalized on Robert Gasser\u2019s wildness to score three runs in the second.<\/p>\n
Gasser hit two batters in that inning and issued a bases-loaded, two-out walk to Ryan Jeffers on a 3-2 pitch inside. Royce Lewis followed with a two-run double to left, extending his hitting streak to 13 games.<\/p>\n
The Brewers tied the game when Turang drove in two runs with a bases-loaded, two-out single in the fourth.<\/p>\n
Brewers third baseman Joey Ortiz left in the fourth inning due to neck tightness.<\/p>\n
Minnesota’s Kaelen Culpepper was hit by a pitch twice in his second career major league appearance.<\/p>\n
