The Milwaukee Brewers exploded for 5-runs in the 6th inning and beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-4 at Miller Park on Sunday. The Brewers take a 2-0 lead in the series, which now shifts to Phoenix for game 3 of the best-of-5 series Tuesday night.
The Brewers led 4-1 early, but Zach Greinke couldn’t hold it. The Diamondbacks clubbed 3-home runs off of Greinke to tie the score in the 5th. Brewers catcher Jonathan LuCroy said Greinke’s control and command was off, but he still did the job.
