MILWAUKEE (AP) — Christian Yelich singled home the tiebreaking run in the eighth inning as the Milwaukee Brewers edged the Minnesota Twins 4-3 on Saturday night.
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.
After Hoffman retired Garrett Mitchell on a fly to center, Yelich singled to right. Lockridge made a head-first slide across the plate as the throw from Austin Martin was off line.
The American Family Field sellout crowd responded by chanting "Yeli" to encourage the 2018 NL MVP, whose struggles this season caused him to get moved down in the lineup this week. Yelich, who batted seventh Saturday, is hitting .232 with a .684 OPS.
Brice Turang went 3 for 4 and drove in two runs for Milwaukee.
