Box Score
The Brewers carried a one-run lead into the seventh inning behind six dominant frames from Logan Henderson, but the Padres finally broke through against him the third time through the order. Jackson Merrill's two-run homer put San Diego ahead, and Milwaukee couldn't answer against the Padres' bullpen in a 3-2 loss.
Neither team managed to score in the first, but Milwaukee opened the scoring in the second. William Contreras, hitting sixth tonight, worked a one-out walk off Padres starter Casey Mize before Christian Yelich, hitting seventh, squared up a first-pitch fastball for a two-run homer.
Now THAT is a beautiful opposite field homer https://t.co/4SyPJc0euW pic.twitter.com/Vic01C5yIE
Contreras and Yelich have been mainstays in the heart of the Brewers' lineup for years, but both have struggled recently, leading manager Pat Murphy to move them down in the order before tonight's game.
