MILWAUKEE, WI (WTVB) – Eric Sogard’s sacrifice fly in the seventh snapped a 5-all tie and the Brewers went on to beat the Detroit Tigers 8-5 in Milwaukee Wednesday night.
Jace Peterson added a pinch-hit, two-run homer in the eighth for insurance. Keston Hiura hit a three-run shot for the Brewers, who overcame an early 4-0 deficit. Joe Jimenez took the loss.
Willi Castro and Jorge Bonifacio drove in two runs each for Detroit but Tiger pitchers walked 10 Milwaukee batters as the Tigers’ six-game winning streak was snapped.
Detroit is off today before opening a five-game series against the Twins tomorrow.
The Tigers have made some moves in the outfield after center fielder JaCoby Jones suffered a broken hand in Tuesday’s win over the Brewers. Victor Reyes will take over in center field, with Travis Demeritte in right with Christin Stewart and Jorge Bonifacio sharing duties in left field.
Detroit has also called up outfielder Derek Hill to take Jones’ place on the roster.
