MILWAUKEE (Interstat) — Kyle Harrison pitched six shutout innings and Blake Perkins delivered a three-run homer in the fourth inning as the Milwaukee Brewers blanked the Philadelphia Phillies 4-0 on Sunday afternoon at American Family Field. Harrison, who improved to 8-1, allowed three hits and struck out three over six innings.

The left-hander surrendered four runs on seven hits over 5 2/3 innings, striking out four and walking one. Milwaukee scored all of its runs in two innings. Jackson Chourio led off the bottom of the first with his ninth home run of the season, a solo shot to center field against Sánchez. The Brewers then broke the game open in the fourth. William Contreras singled to lead off the fourth and Gary Sánchez followed with a sharp single to center, putting runners at the corners. Luis Rengifo then grounded into a fielder’s choice on which Contreras was thrown out at home, leaving runners at first and second with one out. Garrett Mitchell struck out for the second out. Perkins then launched his first home run of the season to left-center field, scoring Sánchez and Rengifo and giving Milwaukee a 4-0 lead. Perkins finished 2-for-4 with three RBIs and a double. Chourio went 2-for-4 with a home run and an RBI. Contreras also had two hits, including a double, and scored once. Harrison retired the side in order in the first, second and fourth innings. He allowed only a single to Derek Hill in the third, but Hill was erased on a line-drive double play when Kyle Schwarber lined into an unassisted double play at first base. Harrison set down the next seven batters before allowing a one-out single to Bryson Stott in the fifth. Stott was left stranded when Rafael Marchán popped out. Philadelphia managed only four hits in the game. Hill, Stott, Schwarber and Justin Crawford each had a single. The Phillies did not advance a runner past second base after the third inning.

MILWAUKEE (Interstat) — The Milwaukee Brewers and Philadelphia Phillies will play a split doubleheader Sunday at American Family Field, with the first game set for an afternoon start and the second in the evening. The series is tied 1-1 after the Brewers won 6-0 on Friday and the Phillies answered with a 3-2 victory Saturday. Milwaukee (42-25) sits atop the NL Central, 5 1/2 games ahead of the second-place Cubs. Philadelphia (37-32) is third in the NL East but has won six of its last eight overall. The pitching matchups feature two left-handers for the Phillies. Cristopher Sánchez (8-2, 3.12 ERA) is scheduled for Game 1, and Kyle Harrison (7-1, 2.89) will start the nightcap. Milwaukee had not announced its starters for either game as of Saturday night. All eyes will be on Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski, who has been nearly untouchable this month. The 24-year-old threw a complete-game, one-hit shutout with 15 strikeouts Friday against these same Phillies. Over his last four starts, Misiorowski is 4-0 with a 0.30 ERA, 43 strikeouts and just six hits allowed in 29 innings. The Phillies counter with their own young arm, Andrew Painter, who will come out of the bullpen for one of the two games. Painter has struggled mightily this season, losing his last five decisions. In Friday’s game, he allowed five runs on five hits over five innings in a 6-0 loss. Weather could be a factor. The forecast calls for rain and 83 degrees at first pitch. Philadelphia is listed as a slight favorite at minus-1.5 on the run line, and the over/under is 7 runs. A game simulation projects a 6-5 Phillies win. After Sunday, Philadelphia returns home for a three-game series against Miami starting Monday. Milwaukee hosts Cleveland for a three-game set beginning Tuesday.
