 Jonathan Lucroy also smacked a two-run homer and Jean Segura
added a run-scoring single for the Brewers, who split the four-game
home-and-home stretch of contests against the Twins. Ryan Braun went
3-for-5 and Lucroy and Lyle Overbay had two hits apiece as Milwaukee
had 13 overall.
Wily Peralta (5-5) allowed four runs and five hits and walked three
in five innings while winning for the first time since May 2.
Francisco Rodriguez worked a perfect ninth for his 18th save in 20
opportunities.
Oswaldo Arcia belted a grand slam to right in third to stake
Minnesota to a 4-0 lead and Gomez answered with a three-run blast in
the top of the fourth. Davis hit a two-run opposite-field blast to
right in the sixth off Kevin Correia (2-7) to put the Brewers ahead
and Segura stroked a ground single to left later in the inning to
make it 6-4.
Josmil Pinto drilled a run-scoring double in the eighth to bring
Minnesota within one but Eduardo Escobar flew out with runners at
second and third to end the inning. Braun hit a two-out double in
the ninth and Lucroy followed with a blast to right to make it a
three-run game.
