PHOENIX (Interstat) — The Milwaukee Brewers scored four runs in the top of the 11th inning to break a 3-3 tie and beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-4 on Friday night at Chase Field in front of 31,280 fans.

The game lasted 3 hours, 32 minutes and extended the Brewers’ lead in the National League Central to 54-32. The Diamondbacks fell to 43-44.

Milwaukee took a 2-0 lead in the second inning when Garrett Mitchell launched an 8th home run of the season, a two-run shot to center field that scored Jake Bauers, who had singled. The Brewers added a run in the third on Bauers’ single that drove in Brice Turang, making it 3-0.

Arizona answered in the bottom of the third. Ketel Marte singled and later scored on a Gabriel Moreno single. After a walk to Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Nolan Arenado doubled to left field, scoring Corbin Carroll and Moreno to tie the game at 3-3.

Both bullpens then held the opposition scoreless for the next six innings. Milwaukee starter Chad Patrick worked 3 1/3 innings, allowing one hit and no earned runs with two strikeouts. Abner Uribe tossed a scoreless seventh, and Grant Anderson earned the win with two innings of relief, giving up one hit and striking out one.

Arizona’s Ryan Thompson took the loss after allowing four runs in the 11th.

The breakthrough came in the top of the 11th. Cooper Pratt was hit by a pitch, and Blake Perkins, who had entered as a pinch runner earlier, advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Joey Ortiz. Thompson intentionally walked Christian Yelich to load the bases. Jackson Chourio then grounded a single through the middle, scoring Perkins and Pratt. A throwing error by Thompson allowed Chourio to take second and Yelich to reach third. Brice Turang followed with a sharp line-drive single to left that scored Yelich and Chourio for a 7-3 lead.

Arizona got one back in the bottom of the inning when Gurriel scored on a single by Ildemaro Vargas, but Anderson induced a popout and a strikeout to end the game.

Bauers led Milwaukee’s 12-hit attack with three hits and an RBI. Chourio added a hit and an RBI. The Diamondbacks managed nine hits, with Marte and Vargas each collecting two.

Milwaukee used a balanced approach, but the 11th-inning rally proved decisive after a quiet middle portion of the game. The Brewers had left 11 runners on base before finally breaking through against Thompson.

The victory came a day after Milwaukee lost at home to Cincinnati. Arizona had dropped its previous game to San Francisco.
