Overview

  • William Contreras hit a two-out, ninth-inning solo homer off All-Star reliever Randy Rodríguez for a 5-4 Brewers win, his first career walk-off.
  • Trevor Megill allowed the tying run to score on a wild pitch in the top of the ninth before Contreras ended it in the bottom half.
  • Willy Adames homered on the first pitch he saw from José Quintana and added another in the eighth after receiving a pregame tribute and standing ovation.
  • José Quintana held San Francisco to two runs on two hits over 5 1/3 innings, while Andruw Monasterio started at shortstop with Joey Ortiz on the 10-day IL for a left hamstring strain.
  • The Giants dropped their fourth straight and fell further below .500 as Milwaukee continued a surge powered by timely hitting and depth, including Brice Turang’s strong August.
