\n\tBrewers end D-backs 9-game home win streak with 8-6 victory<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/h2>\n

\n\t There's been lots of talk about Colorado and Arizona being the surprise clubs in baseball this season.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tDon't forget the Milwaukee Brewers.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tManny Pina had three hits — two doubles — and two RBIs and the NL Central-leading Brewers ended Arizona's nine-game home winning streak with an 8-6 victory over the Diamondbacks on Friday night.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t"Everybody is doing their job," Pina said. "Everyone is focused on playing the game. … When we get men on first and second, I just want to have a good swing, and that's what everyone is doing right now."<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tJake Lamb hit a three-run homer for the Diamondbacks, losers at home for only the ninth time in 33 games this season. David Peralta added three hits and an RBI.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t"Unfortunately we couldn't close the gap offensively," manager Torey Lovullo said. "They jumped out to that 8-4 lead, and I think we ran out of gas."<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tBrewers second baseman Jonathan Villar was taken off the field on a cart after making a diving stop in short right field to rob Chris Herrmann in the eighth inning and then fell down in pain.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tManager Craig Counsell said after the game that Villar had experienced back spasms and was being taken for X-rays.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHernan Perez homered for the Brewers and Orlando Arcia had three singles and a sacrifice fly.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWith the game tied 4-4, Brett Phillips led off the Milwaukee sixth with a single and Arcia reached on a bunt. Pinch-hitter Jesus Aguilar followed with a sharp double into the left field corner off reliever T.J. McFarland (3-1) to bring home Phillips. Arcia scored on left fielder Daniel Descalso's error, putting the Brewers up 6-4.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tZach Davies (7-3) gave up four runs and four hits in five innings to get the victory.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCorey Knebel, hitting 100 mph on the Chase Field radar gun, retired the last four Arizona batters — three by strikeout — for his eighth save in 11 tries.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKnebel has 57 strikeouts in 31 1\/3 innings.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t"Corey, what can you say?" Counsell said. "He was absolutely exceptional once again. He's putting together a great season."<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tEach team scored twice in the seventh and Arizona had the bases loaded with two outs when Nick Ahmed bounced out to the pitcher.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tPerez broke a 3-3 tie with a two-out solo shot over the left field wall in the fifth.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the Diamondbacks' half of the inning, Davies struck out the first two batters, but Peralta blooped a double down the left field line and scored when Paul Goldschmidt singled up the middle to tie it 4-4.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tEach team scored three in the first.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tDomingo Santana, Pina and Villar doubled off Randall Delgado in the opening inning for Milwaukee.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tLamb's three-run homer to deep right-center tied it in the Arizona half of the first, boosting his major league-leading RBI total to 56.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTRAINER'S ROOM<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tBrewers: 3B Travis Shaw was placed on the family medical emergency list due to health concerns for his baby girl, born earlier in the week. … OF Ryan Braun (left calf strain) ran on the field for the first time since going back on the DL on May 26.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tDiamondbacks: RHP Taijuan Walker (finger blister) threw a bullpen session on Friday, with his right index finger still bandaged. Lovullo said Walker will throw at least once more in the bullpen. … CF A.J. Pollock (strained right groin) extended his running on Friday and is to run again, making some turns this time, on Saturday.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tROAD WARRIORS<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile much has been made of Arizona's home dominance, the Brewers have been better on the road than in Milwaukee.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Brewers' 16-10 record away from home is the third-best in the National League behind Colorado (23-10) and Washington (21-12). No other NL team has a winning record on the road.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMilwaukee is 17-19 at home.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tROSTER MOVE<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Brewers recalled LH Josh Hader from Triple-A Colorado Springs. RHP Paolo Espino was optioned to Colorado Springs. Hader becomes the only lefty in the Milwaukee bullpen. He did not pitch Friday night.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tUP NEXT<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tRHP Junior Guerra (1-0, 1.83 ERA) makes his fifth start of the season, second against Arizona, in Saturday night's second of the three-game series. RHP Zack Godley (1-1, 2.39 ERA) starts for the Diamondbacks.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
