The Milwaukee Brewers trailed early Saturday, falling behind 3-0 before staging a decisive comeback against the Miami Marlins. The final score read 8-6, with the visitors capitalizing on timely hits and opportunistic baserunning to flip the game on its head.
Jackson Chourio sparked the rally with a two-run single in the sixth inning, followed by Garrett Mitchell's two-run double that pushed Milwaukee ahead. The Brewers added insurance runs throughout the contest, turning a deficit into a comfortable win.
Key Moments
Griffin Conine answered for Miami with a three-run homer in the ninth, but the damage was already done. Earlier, Christian Yelich contributed a two-run double in the seventh, while Braden Shewmake's sacrifice fly brought home a run in the second.
Milwaukee starter Shane Drohan limited the Marlins to three runs over six innings, while reliever Calvin Faucher surrendered all four Milwaukee runs in the sixth. All-Star pitcher Max Meyer lasted only three innings for Miami before exiting.
Standout Performances
Chourio finished the game with multiple hits and a pivotal RBI, while Mitchell posted three hits and drove in crucial runs. Both players have been instrumental in the Brewers' recent surge, helping the club maintain a six-game lead over the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central.
The victory came despite a handful of setbacks. Outfielder Sal Frelick was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder strain, and second baseman Brice Turang was scratched from the lineup due to a sore right foot. Nonetheless, the Brewers' depth shone through.
What’s Next
Miami will look to rebound with RHP Eury Perez starting Sunday to close out the three-game series, while Milwaukee counters with LHP Robert Gasser. The Brewers aim to extend their winning streak and solidify their position at the top of the division as the season progresses.
