MILWAUKEE (AP) --- Jake Bauers singled home the winning run in the bottom of
the 10th after Luis Lara made a spectacular run-saving catch in the top half of
the inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers edged the Minnesota Twins 4-3 on Sunday.
Bauers' one-out single to shallow left off Yoendrys Gmez (2-2) brought home
Brice Turang, who slid across the plate before catcher Ryan Jeffers could apply
the tag. A replay review confirmed the call from home plate umpire Chad Whitson.
Minnesota went scoreless in the top of the 10th after Lara made a leaping catch
at the wall on Kody Clemens' drive to right to prevent a run from scoring. Lara
also had made an incredible play in front of the wall to rob Brooks Lee of an
extra-base hit in the sixth inning.
Royce Lewis advanced to third on Clemens' drive but was stranded there when DL
Hall (1-0) struck out Lee.
Bauers also homered in the fifth inning, and Jackson Chourio also went deep to
help the Brewers win the series. Lee and Clemens homered off Milwaukee's Jacob
Misiorowski.
Minnesota had tied the game at 3-all on Clemens' two-run shot in the sixth.
Clemens' homer came immediately after Josh Bell drew a free pass for
Misiorowski's only walk of the day.
Both teams wasted chances afterward.
The Brewers left runners on third and second in the sixth. They stranded men on
first and second in the seventh and ninth.
Minnesota left the bases loaded in the seventh and eighth.
Misiorowski allowed three runs and four hits in six innings. He struck out nine
to increase his major league-leading total to 204.
Minnesota's Connor Prielipp struck out seven and allowed three runs, five hits
and two walks in five innings.
Up next
The Twins open a three-game home series with the Baltimore Orioles. The
scheduled starting pitchers for Monday's series opener are Minnesota's Dean
Kremer (1-4, 5.93 ERA) and Baltimore's Trevor Rogers (7-7, 4.20).
The Brewers start a West Coast trip at San Diego. Logan Henderson (8-1, 2.70)
pitches for Milwaukee and Casey Mize (4-7, 3.40) starts for San Diego on Monday.
