Garrett Mitchell grounded a run-scoring single up the middle with two outs in the 10th to score Jackson Chourio from second base, giving the Milwaukee Brewers a 2-1 win in the opener of the three-game series against the visiting Miami Marlins on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Joey Ortiz homered and singled for the Brewers, who had lost their last three games before the All-Star break, but still set a franchise record with 59 wins before the break.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee righty Logan Henderson was trying to win his fourth straight start, but did not earn a decision after allowing one run and three hits over five innings, striking out four without a walk.<\/p>\n

Brewers relievers Chad Patrick, Aaron Ashby, Abner Uribe and Trevor Megill threw shutout innings before Craig Yoho (1-0) did the same in the 10th with Heriberto Hernandez on second base to start the inning for his first MLB win.<\/p>\n

Griffin Conine homered and Otto Lopez had two hits for the Marlins, who also lost their last three games before the break.<\/p>\n

Miami right-hander Sandy Alcantara limited the Brewers to one run and three hits in six innings. The 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner struck out seven and walked four.<\/p>\n

Lake Bachar (1-1) took the loss for Miami.<\/p>\n

Conine waited on a full-count changeup with one out in the fifth and pulled it over the fence in right-center field for a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee had just one hit off Alcantara when Ortiz came up with one in the bottom half of the inning and pulled a solo homer over the fence in left to tie it 1-1.<\/p>\n

Christian Yelich followed with a double, but the Brewers would strand two runners for the second consecutive inning.<\/p>\n

Lopez, who came in leading the majors with a .334 batting average, lined an opposite-field double down the right-field line with one out in the fourth, but second baseman Brice Turang made a backhand stop on a grounder up the middle by Kyle Stowers with two outs and Lopez at third, throwing Stowers out on the hop to end the inning.<\/p>\n
