Garrett Mitchell hit a solo homer in the seventh inning to lift the Milwaukee Brewers to a 2-1 victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday night.
After the Guardians tied it 1-all in the seventh, Hunter Gaddis (1-2) relieved and Mitchell opened the bottom half of the inning with his fifth homer, sending a 2-1 pitch 440 feet to center.
After being held to three hits through six scoreless innings, the Guardians tied it with a run off Aaron Ashby (10-0). Stuart Fairchild walked with one out, advanced on a wild pitch, and came home on Gabriel Arias’ two-out single.
Abner Uribe tossed a scoreless eighth, stranding a runner at third, and Trevor Megill completed the combined four-hitter with a perfect ninth for his ninth save in 11 opportunities.
Gabriel Arias had two of Cleveland’s four hits and only rbi.
