MILWAUKEE (AP) \u2014 Jackson Chourio put Milwaukee ahead with a two-run single in a four-run sixth inning that sent the Brewers past the skidding Miami Marlins 8-6 on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Garrett Mitchell added a two-run double in the sixth and finished with three hits for the banged-up Brewers, who erased an early 3-0 deficit. Milwaukee (61-37) leads the NL Central by six games over the Chicago Cubs and sits a game behind the Los Angeles Dodgers for the best record in the majors.<\/p>\n
Griffin Conine hit a three-run homer in the ninth for the Marlins, who have lost five straight following a six-game winning streak.<\/p>\n
Trevor Megill entered after Conine’s homer off Craig Yoho and got three quick outs for his 15th save.<\/p>\n
Brewers starter Shane Drohan (5-3) gave up three runs and five hits in six innings. He struck out nine and walked one.<\/p>\n
Marlins reliever Calvin Faucher (4-5) yielded all four Milwaukee runs in the sixth as the Brewers took a 6-3 lead. Christian Yelich added a two-run double in the seventh.<\/p>\n
Handed a 3-0 cushion, All-Star pitcher Max Meyer lasted only three innings for Miami. He threw 74 pitches and was charged with two runs on three hits with three walks and five strikeouts.<\/p>\n
Mitchell scored on Braden Shewmake’s sacrifice fly in the second, and Chourio scored in the third on an RBI double by William Contreras that cut it to 3-2.<\/p>\n
Before the game, Milwaukee placed outfielder Sal Frelick on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder strain and scratched second baseman Brice Turang from the starting lineup with a sore right foot.<\/p>\n
Up next<\/p>\n
Miami RHP Eury Perez (5-7, 3.78 ERA) starts Sunday to close out the three-game series. Milwaukee counters with LHP Robert Gasser (2-4, 5.24).<\/p>\n
