MILWAUKEE (Interstat) — Garrett Mitchell’s walk-off single in the 10th inning lifted the Milwaukee Brewers to a 2-1 victory over the Miami Marlins on Friday night at American Family Field. The Brewers improved to 60-37, while the Marlins dropped to 52-46. The game was tied 1-1 after the fifth inning and remained that way until the bottom of the 10th, when Jackson Chourio, the automatic runner at second base, scored on Mitchell’s ground single to center field. Mitchell’s hit gave Milwaukee its third straight win after a three-game losing streak and handed Miami its fourth consecutive defeat. Both starting pitchers turned in strong outings. Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara allowed one earned run on three hits over six innings, striking out seven and walking three. Brewers right-hander Logan Henderson matched him with five innings of one-run ball, yielding three hits while striking out four and walking none. Henderson did not factor in the decision but earned top-star honors with his second consecutive quality start following a win at St. Louis on July 9. The scoring began in the top of the fifth inning. Griffin Conine led off with a home run to right-center field, his sixth of the season, staking Miami to a 1-0 lead. The Marlins had managed only two hits to that point, a single by Otto Lopez in the first and a double by Lopez in the fourth, but could not push across another run. Milwaukee answered immediately in the bottom of the fifth. Joey Ortiz led off with a home run to left field, his fourth of the year, tying the game 1-1. Christian Yelich followed with a double, but Alcantara retired the next three batters to keep the score level. The bullpens took over from there. For Milwaukee, Chad Patrick pitched a scoreless sixth, Trevor Megill worked a hitless seventh, Abner Uribe tossed a clean eighth, and Craig Yoho handled the ninth and 10th. Yoho earned the win, improving to 1-0, after retiring the side in order in the top of the 10th. He struck out one. Miami’s relievers also held firm. Pete Fairbanks struck out two in a perfect seventh inning, Calvin Faucher allowed one hit in a scoreless eighth, and Lake Bachar struck out two in a scoreless ninth. Bachar came back for the 10th and took the loss, falling to 1-1, after Mitchell’s game-winning single. Bachar began the inning by striking out Brice Turang, then walked William Contreras and struck out Jake Bauers before Mitchell delivered the hit. Ortiz finished 2 for 4 with a home run and an RBI. Conine went 1 for 2 with a homer and an RBI. Neither team managed consistent offense; Miami had seven hits and Milwaukee six. The Marlins stranded five runners, the Brewers eight. The announced attendance was 38,566, and the game lasted 3 hours, 12 minutes. Miami entered the series having lost three consecutive games to the Cleveland Guardians at home, while Milwaukee had dropped three straight at the Pittsburgh Pirates before this win. The teams will meet again Saturday and Sunday at American Family Field before the Marlins travel to face the Houston Astros on Monday and the Brewers host the New York Mets on Monday. Interstat’s game simulator had projected a final score of Miami 6, Milwaukee 5. Interstat’s ELO system gave Milwaukee a 63.5 percent probability to win. Milwaukee had been installed as a pregame favorite with a spread of minus-1.5. The combined total of three runs went over the over/under line of eight.

MILWAUKEE (Interstat) — The Milwaukee Brewers host the Miami Marlins on Friday night at American Family Field, with first-place Milwaukee aiming to build on its strong first half against a Miami team trying to climb back over .500. First pitch is set for 7:10 p.m. under clear skies and 79 degrees. The Brewers, 59-37, hold the National League Central lead. The Marlins are 52-45, third in the NL East.
