  • Christian Yelich drove in three runs with an RBI double and his 29th homer as he closes in on a 30-homer, 100-RBI season.
  • Milwaukee scored in each of the first four innings and finished with a 13-3 edge in hits, getting late insurance from Jackson Chourio and a two-run single by William Contreras.
