Narvaez opened the inning at second after the Padres failed to score in the top of the 10th, and he moved to third on a sacrifice bunt by Keston Hiura. Miguel Diaz (2-1), the sixth pitcher used by the Padres, retired Luis Urias on a short fly to right before Bradley's decisive hit.

Willy Adames went 4-for-5 with four RBIs, including a three-run homer, first long ball since coming from Tampa Bay in a May 21 trade. Avisail Garcia added two hits for Milwaukee, which gained a split of the four-game series.

Austin Voth (1-0) picked up the win in relief after tossing a pair of scoreless innings when the game resumed. Jeff Hoffman (3-4) took the loss after his rough start on Wednesday.
