Vaughn’s Eighth-Inning Single Lifts Brewers to 4-3 Win Over Twins

Overview

• The Brewers won 4-3 on Saturday at American Family Field when Andrew Vaughn delivered a go-ahead single in the eighth to even the series with Minnesota.
• Milwaukee manufactured the winning run when William Contreras singled, was replaced by pinch-runner Brandon Lockridge, Lockridge stole second, and Vaughn drove him home with a ground-ball single.
• Both starters exited early as Robert Gasser failed to reach the sixth inning after allowing seven hits and two hit batters and Taj Bradley also left before the sixth after issuing multiple walks and hitting a batter.
• Milwaukee’s bullpen threw 4.1 scoreless innings after Gasser departed and the Twins did not record a hit following his exit, preserving the late lead and finishing with a perfect ninth.
• The team made three same-day roster moves: Bryse Wilson was designated for assignment, Lyon Richardson was recalled, and Sal Frelick began a Triple-A rehab assignment, moves the Brewers said address short-term pitching demand during a long run of games.
