completed a six-run outburst that put the game away. Mike
Moustakas had two hits, including the 1,000th of his career, and
Ben Gamel had two hits and two RBIs.
Atlanta starter Bryse Wilson (1-1) left after walking the first
two batters in the fifth. He allowed four runs on six hits and
three walks. Wilson struck out one.
Hiura put the Brewers ahead with a solo homer, his ninth, in the
second. Hiura went 3-for-3 with two RBIs and three runs, and he
is 6-for-7 in the series.
The Brewers added two runs in the third. Yasmani Grandal drove a
run home with a sharp single to right, and Moustakas doubled to
right field to bring home another.
Atlanta cut the deficit to 3-1 in the fifth inning when Tyler
Flowers hit his eighth homer, a long solo shot to left-center
field.
The Brewers got the run back when Yelich scored on Jerry
Blevins' wild pitch in the bottom of the fifth. Milwaukee
extended the lead to 5-1 when Cain hit a solo homer, his sixth,
in the sixth inning.
Milwaukee pulled away with six runs in the seventh against
rookie Huascar Ynoa. Hiura and Gamel both had RBI singles prior

on a RBI single by Gamel and bases-loaded walk to Cain.

extended his career-long on-base streak to 22 games.
