Brice Turang dropped a perfect bunt to score Oliver Dunn in the 11th inning and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Kansas City Royals 3-2 on Wednesday.
Pinch-runner Dunn advanced from second base on Garett Mitchell’s groundout off Sam Long (0-2). Joey Ortiz walked. Turang, who was 0 for 5 for the game, laid down a bunt in front of the plate and raced to first as Dunn scored.
Jared Koenig (1-0) picked up the win with a scoreless 11th.
Jackson Chourio doubled off Royals reliever Carlos Estévez in the bottom of the 10th and drove in Turang to tie the game at 2.
Chourio crushed a 85-mph changeup from starter Cole Ragan in the first inning for his first home run of the season. Cavan Biggio tied the game with an RBI single in the second off Milwaukee starter Freddy Peralta. After that, it was a pitcher’s duel.
Peralta allowed just two hits, struck out eight and tied his career high with eight innings.
Ragan allowed one run over five innings, struck out 10 and walked two. It was his sixth career start with 10 strikeouts.
With Royals pinch-runner Tyler Tolbert on second in the 10th, Michael Massey lined a hit off the glove of first baseman Jake Bauers that scored Tolbert. Kansas City’s 2-1 lead was brief.
The Brewers were 2 for 14 with runners in scoring position. The Royals were 2 for 8.
Brewers: LHP Nestor Cortes (0-1, 36.00) makes his home debut against LHP Nick Lodolo (1-0, 3.00) and the Cincinnati Reds Thursday. Cortes looks to rebound after allowing a career-high eight runs Saturday during a 20-9 rout at Yankee Stadium.
First pitch is at 6:40 from American Family Field.
Elsewhere in the NL Central Wednesday, the Rangers shutout the Reds 1-0, the Pirates nipped the Rays 4-2, the Cardinals pounded the Angels 12-5 and the Cubs over the A’s 10-2.
The Dodgers Shohei Ohtani hit a walk-off home run in a come-from-behind 6-5 win over the Atlanta Braves Wednesday night.
The Dodgers are 8-0, topping the 1933 New York Yankees of Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth for the longest winning streak to begin a season for a reigning champion. The Braves, meanwhile, are 0-7, the type of record no team has ever recovered from to make the playoffs. And Ohtani, with three home runs and a 1.126 OPS this season, just keeps meeting moments.
The Bucks are back on the floor tonight at Philadelphia against the 76ers. The Bucks are coming off a 133-123 win over the Phoenix Suns Tuesday night. Milwaukee is sixth in the Eastern Conference with a 41-34 record, a half-game behind the Pistons.
