PHOENIX -- Jackson Chourio broke a tie with an infield single in the 11th inning, Garrett Mitchell homered in his second straight game and the Brewers beat the Diamondbacks, 7-4, in 11 innings at Chase Field on Friday night.
Brice Turang finished 3-for-6 with two RBIs, helping Milwaukee to its fourth win in five games. The Brewers have won five of eight to open up a brutal stretch of 18 games in a 17-day span.
Neither team scored after the third inning until Chourio’s infield single scored Blake Perkins from third base in the 11th. D-backs pitcher Ryan Thompson’s diving throw home was well off the mark, allowing Cooper Pratt to score, as well. Turang immediately followed with an RBI double, effectively sealing the game.
Mitchell opened the scoring with a two-run home run in the second inning, blasting the first pitch he saw a Statcast-projected 435 feet to center field. The homer was upheld following a review, marking the center fielder’s second dinger in as many days.
Starting pitcher Kyle Harrison lasted just 2 2/3 innings, allowing three runs and five hits while striking out three. The 24-year-old lefty had little trouble the first time through the batting order, but ran into trouble in the third, throwing 38 pitches in the inning before getting pulled.
Reliever Chad Patrick worked 3 1/3 innings, his longest such stretch since throwing the same number of outs on June 21 at Atlanta. Patrick threw 34 pitches, 23 for strikes, and allowed just one hit while striking out two.
