After losing six straight, Milwaukee has now won their last two games against last year’s American League champions.
The two teams combined for just one hit (a single off the bat of Gary Sánchez) through two innings, but Toronto broke through in the third off of Sproat. Andrés Giménez doubled into right field, and Ernie Clement singled to put runners on the corners with nobody out. The next batter, Tyler Heineman, laid down a sacrifice bunt to score Giménez and advance Clement to second base, but Sproat was able to retire the next two batters to keep the damage to one run.
Milwaukee got that run back in the bottom of the fourth. Brice Turang led off with a double, and William Contreras singled to move him over to third. Gary Sanchez then hit a fly ball to right field that wasn’t quite deep enough to score Turang, who tagged up but stayed at third.
The next batter, Luis Rengifo, hit a slightly deeper fly ball. Turang broke for the plate, and the throw was just a little bit down the third base line — allowing Turang to slide in ahead of the tag to tie the game. A sac fly from Rengifo ties the game → https://t.
