MILWAUKEE (AP) --- Vladimir Guerrero Jr. doubled home the go-ahead run in the
10th inning as the Toronto Blue Jays beat Milwaukee 9-7 on Tuesday night and
handed the Brewers their sixth consecutive loss.
Milwaukee's skid is its longest since June 2023, when the Brewers also dropped
six straight. The Brewers allowed seven runs over the last three innings to
squander a 4-2 advantage.
After a wild ninth inning in which neither closer could hold the lead, Toronto
pulled ahead for good in the 10th.
Guerrero's one-out double off the left-field wall against Garret Anderson (0-1)
drove in automatic runner Ernie Clement. After Anderson intentionally walked
Jess Snchez, Myles Straw added a two-run double to make it 9-6.
Milwaukee brought the tying run to first base in the bottom of the 10th before
Louis Varland (1-1) struck out Gary Snchez to end the game.
Jake Bauers hit a three-run homer and Snchez added a solo shot for Milwaukee.
Andrs Gimnez and Daulton Varsho homered for Toronto.
Milwaukee had forced extra innings by scoring twice against Jeff Hoffman in the
bottom of the ninth after Toronto got three runs off Trevor Megill in the top
half of the inning.
Megill walked Eloy Jimnez to open the ninth before allowing a ground-rule
double to Davis Schneider. Kazuma Okamota singled home Jimnez with the tying
run.
With the infield still playing in, second baseman Brice Turang made a diving
stop to retire Andrs Gimnez at first, but Schneider easily scored the
go-ahead run. Okamoto later scored on Clement's two-out single to make it 6-4.
Milwaukee's Sal Frelick drew a leadoff walk in the bottom of the ninth, stole
second and advanced to third on William Contreras' grounder to the right side.
Brice Turang singled home Frelick and stole second before Hoffman struck out
Snchez.
After Bauers walked, Brandon Lockridge sent a 3-2 pitch into left for an RBI
double that tied the game. Hoffman walked Garrett Mitchell to load the bases
before Varland struck out Joey Ortiz.

Dylan Cease (0-0, 2.45 ERA) pitches for Toronto and Chad Patrick (0-1, 0.73)
