BLOOMINGTON (Interstat) — Logan Henderson pitched five strong innings and Jackson Chourio delivered a tiebreaking home run in the sixth inning as the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Minnesota Twins 2-1 on Saturday at Target Field before a crowd of 33,115. The game lasted 2 hours, 25 minutes. Henderson, a right-hander who entered with a 1-1 record, allowed one run on six hits while striking out seven and walking one. He worked out of a jam in the second inning when the Twins put runners at second and third with one out but struck out Royce Lewis and Tristan Gray around a walk to James Outman, then got Austin Martin on a foul tip to end the threat. The only run Henderson surrendered came in the third when Trevor Larnach homered to right field, his second of the season, giving Minnesota an early lead. Connor Prielipp took the loss for the Twins, falling to 1-2. The left-hander was sharp over six innings, allowing one earned run on three hits while striking out eight and walking one. He did not allow a hit until the fourth inning and kept the Brewers off the board until a defensive miscue helped Milwaukee tie the game. The Brewers tied the score in the fourth. Brice Turang led off with a single and moved to second on a walk to Andrew Vaughn. Luis Rengifo then reached on a fielder’s choice when third baseman Royce Lewis threw errantly to second base, allowing Turang to score. The inning ended when Gary Sánchez grounded into a double play. Milwaukee took the lead in the sixth when Chourio, the Brewers’ left fielder, drove a 1-1 pitch from Prielipp over the left-center field wall for his first home run of the season. Chourio finished 2 for 4 with two runs scored and the RBI. Chad Patrick earned his first save of the season with a dominant four-inning relief appearance. The right-hander allowed just one hit and no runs while striking out three. He faced the tying run in scoring position in the seventh after James Outman tripled with one out, but Patrick induced a flyout from Austin Martin and a groundout from Brooks Lee to escape. Patrick retired eight of the final nine batters he faced, striking out Josh Bell to end the eighth and securing the final three outs in the ninth. Milwaukee mustered only five hits overall. Chourio added a double in the eighth but was stranded. Vaughn had a single and a walk. Turang singled and scored. The Brewers left five runners on base. Minnesota collected seven hits but stranded eight. Kody Clemens went 2 for 4 with a double. Larnach homered and drove in the Twins’ only run. Ryan Jeffers singled in the first. Outman’s triple was the only extra-base hit outside of the home runs. Royce Lewis singled in the fourth but struck out twice. The Twins loaded the bases in the second but failed to score. The victory improved Milwaukee’s record to 26-17, while Minnesota fell to 20-26. The Brewers have won two straight in the series after taking Friday’s opener 3-2. Milwaukee continues its road trip Sunday with the series finale before traveling to Chicago to face the Cubs on Monday. The Twins host Houston on Monday. Henderson improved to 2-1 after a no-decision in his previous start, a 4-3 win over the New York Yankees on May 10 in which he allowed two runs over five innings. He also took a loss on May 3 at Washington despite allowing two runs over six innings. Prielipp had won his last outing, a 9-1 victory over Miami on May 14, but could not overcome the lone mistake to Chourio. The game was a pitchers’ duel from the outset. Prielipp retired the first seven Brewers he faced before issuing a two-out walk in the third. Henderson struck out six over the first four innings, his only blemish the solo homer by Larnach. Milwaukee’s bullpen, led by Patrick, did not allow a run over the final four frames. The Twins threatened in the seventh, but Patrick slammed the door. Outman’s triple was the hardest-hit ball of the inning, but Martin and Lee could not bring him home. In the eighth, Jeffers lined out to center and Larnach grounded out to first before Bell struck out swinging. In the ninth, Clemens popped out, Lewis struck out and Gray lined out to shortstop. Milwaukee’s best chance to add insurance came in the eighth when Chourio doubled and William Contreras singled, putting runners at first and third with one out. But Prielipp’s replacement, Eric Orze, induced a popout from Vaughn and a popout from Rengifo to end the inning. Orze worked two scoreless innings of relief, allowing two hits and striking out one. Yoendrys Gómez pitched a perfect ninth for Minnesota. The run support was minimal, but Henderson and Patrick made it stand up. Henderson threw 92 pitches, 61 for strikes. Prielipp threw 84 pitches, 59 for strikes. The Brewers’ defense turned one double play, and the Twins did not commit an error after Lewis’s miscue in the fourth. Interstat’s game simulator had projected a final score of Milwaukee 7, Minnesota 6, while Interstat’s ELO system gave the Brewers a 63.20 percent probability to win. Milwaukee had been installed as a pregame favorite with a spread of minus 1.5. The total score of 3 went over the over-under line of 8.5.
