Garrett Mitchell's two-out RBI single in the eighth inning broke a tie and helped the visiting Milwaukee Brewers defeat the Boston Red Sox 8-6 on Monday night.
Mitchell's single came against reliever Garrett Whitlock (0-1) and drove in Brice Turang to give Milwaukee a 6-5 lead. Roman Anthony's wild throw on the play allowed Christian Yelich to score and put the Brewers up 7-5. Turang and Yelich each reached base in the eighth via a walk from Whitlock.
Milwaukee scored its eighth run in the ninth when Luis Rengifo doubled and scored on Sal Frelick's single.
Boston had the tying run on first with two outs in the ninth, but Angel Zerpa earned his first save by retiring Trevor Story on a groundout to end the game.
Aaron Ashby (3-0) earned the win after tossing 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief. Yelich had three hits in the victory.
Willson Contreras collected three hits for Boston, including a solo home run that capped the scoring in the ninth.
The Red Sox built a 3-0 lead by scoring a run in the first and two in the third. Story's two-out single drove in Anthony with the game's first run. Anthony scored on Wilyer Abreu's fielder's choice to make it 2-0, and Story drove in Boston's third run on a sacrifice fly that allowed Masataka Yoshida to score.
Milwaukee took the lead with a four-run fourth. After Frelick scored on Caleb Durbin's fielding error, David Hamilton and Turang scored on infield singles by Yelich and Mitchell to even the score 3-3. The Brewers led for the first time after Jake Bauers drew a bases-loaded walk that forced in Contreras with a run that put Milwaukee up 4-3.
The Red Sox regained the lead by scoring twice in the bottom of the fourth. After Durbin tied the game on Hamilton's fielding error, Boston went up 5-4 when Contreras scored on Ceddanne Rafaela's ground-rule double.
Turang's ground-rule double in the fifth allowed Hamilton to score and tie the game 5-5.
