Garrett Mitchell grounded an RBI 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.

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.

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.

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.

Griffin Conine homered and Otto Lopez had two hits for the Marlins, who had also lost their last three games before the break.

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.

Lake Bachar (1-1) took the loss for Miami.

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.

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.

Christian Yelich followed with a double, but the Brewers would strand two runners for the second consecutive inning.

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.
