Rowdy Tellez had two hits, two RBIs and reached base three times
for Milwaukee, which snapped a five-game home losing streak.
Andrew Vaughn had three hits, including a home run off Hunter
Strickland in the eighth inning for Chicago's lone run. The
White Sox were held to five hits in the matchup between division
leaders.
With Milwaukee managing Freddy Peralta's innings, the
right-hander exited as planned after allowing one hit over four
innings. He struck out five while throwing 51 pitches.
Adrian Houser (6-5) followed Peralta and earned the victory with
two scoreless innings.
Milwaukee opened the scoring with a run in the fourth inning.
White Sox starter Lucas Giolito allowed back-to-back singles
with one out before walking Luis Urias to load the bases.
Tellez followed with a run-scoring single to shallow center
field, but the Brewers left the bases loaded when Giolito
retired Taylor and Jace Peterson to end the inning.
Giolito (8-7) allowed one run on six hits over six innings. He
struck out three and issued a season-high five walks.
Milwaukee broke the game open with six runs in the seventh, when
they sent nine batters to the plate and capitalized on four
Chicago walks.
Kolten Wong led off with a single off of Aaron Bummer, who
walked the next two batters to load the bases. After Wong scored
on Avisail Garcia's grounder, Bummer struck out Omar Narvaez for
the second out.
Ryan Burr replaced Bummer and walked Urias to load the bases
again, and Tellez walked to make the score 3-0 before Taylor
cleared the bases with a home run inside the left-field foul
pole.
Manager Tony La Russa and shortstop Tim Anderson were ejected
for the White Sox, whose pitchers issued nine walks. La Russa's
ejection was his first since Aug. 10, 2011, when he managed the
St. Louis Cardinals.
