MIAMI — Jace Peterson walked against Anthony Bender with the bases loaded in the ninth inning and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Miami Marlins 2-1 Friday night.
After starters Corbin Burnes and Pablo Lopez dueled for seven innings, ex-Marlins star Christian Yelich reached on a leadoff single against Tanner Scott (0-1) in the ninth. Scott hit Luis Urias and surrendered pinch-hitter Tyrone Taylor’s single to right that loaded the bases.
Bender relieved and struck out Hunter Renfroe before walking Peterson on four pitches.
Devin Williams (2-0) pitched a perfect eighth and Josh Hader closed with a perfect ninth for his 13th save.
Lopez struck out a career-high 11 and limited Milwaukee to one run and three hits in his seven-inning outing. Lopez retired 15 in a row until Renfroe’s two-out single in the seventh.
Burnes was just as dominant for the Brewers. The NL Cy Young Award winner allowed 1 run, 5 hits and struck out 7 in seven innings.
Yelich went 1 for 4. It was his first game against his ex-club since the 2018 NL MVP fractured a kneecap after fouling off a pitch on Sept. 11, 2019.
The Brewers struck quickly on Kolten Wong’s leadoff shot in the first. Wong drove Lopez’s cutter into the Brewers’ bullpen in right field for his second home run.
Miami tied it in the third on Jesus Aguilar’s blast, which landed behind the left-center field wall.
DIAMONDBACKS 4, CUBS 3 Ketel Marte had three hits, Zach Davies pitched effectively into the sixth inning and Arizona beat Chicago.
GIANTS 8, CARDINALS 2 Logan Webb (5-1) pitched six strong innings and San Francisco beat St. Louis for its sixth consecutive victory.
PADRES 11, BRAVES 6 Ha-Seong Kim hit a three-run home run in the seventh inning off reliever Will Smith, Wil Myers went deep in the sixth against Max Fried and San Diego beat Atlanta.
REDS 8, PIRATES 2 Mike Moustakas homered twice and Brandon Drury drove in four runs to break out of a slump and lead Cincinnati to a victory over Pittsburgh. Moustakas hit a home run into the right field stands in the fourth inning to break a 2-2 tie. In the seventh, he had another blast to make it 8-2, two batters after Drury had a two-run drive.
