Joey Wiemer hit a game-winning single in the 10th inning to lift the Milwaukee Brewers to a 4-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night. Wiemer’s hit came off Austin Voth (1-2). It scored pinch-runner Andruw Monasterio, who was the automatic runner.
Baltimore dropped to 5 1/2 games behind AL East-leading Tampa, who won their fourth straight game.
Milwaukee took first place in the NL Central, a half-game ahead of Pittsburgh, who lost after winning six straight.
With the game tied at 3 in the 10th inning, Baltimore had runners at first and second with two outs, but Peter Strzelecki (3-4) struck out pinch-hitter Josh Lester.
The teams’ stoppers, Baltimore’s Felix Bautista and Milwaukee’s Devin Williams, each pitched a perfect ninth inning.
Baltimore took a 3-2 lead in the seventh inning on Ryan O’Hearn’s solo home run off Joel Payamps.
Milwaukee tied the game in the eighth. Blake Perkins drew a walk from Yennier Cano, stole second base and scored on Brice Turang’s single.
The teams each used six pitchers. Each team recorded 16 strikeouts. Each starting pitcher went five innings, threw nearly 100 pitches and gave up two runs.
Baltimore’s Kyle Gibson struggled in the first inning, throwing 35 pitches and surrendering two runs on RBI singles by Brian Anderson and Abraham Toro, but allowed only two more hits. He struck out seven batters and walked two.
Milwaukee’s Willy Peralta gave up a two-run home run to Aaron Hicks that tied the game at 2 in the second inning. Peralta struck out nine batters and walked none.
Wiemer saved at least one run with two runners on base in the third inning. He ran down Hicks’ 104 mph line drive on the warning track in right-centerfield to end the inning.
Christian Yelich went 3-for-4 with two doubles, and scored a run. He stole two bases. Milwaukee is 4-0 in extra-innings games.
Brewers: LHP Eric Lauer (right shoulder impingement) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville.
Baltimore RHP Dean Kremer (6-2, 44.3 ERA) faces Milwaukee RHP Corbin Burnes (4-4, 3.75 ERA) on Wednesday in the second of the three-game series. First pitch is at 6:40.
Elsewhere in the NL Central Tuesday Oakland pounded Pittsburgh 11-2, the Reds edged the Dodgers 9-8, Texas beat St. Louis 6-4 and the Angels downed the Cubs 7-4. The Brewers lead the Pirates by a half-game in the division.
In the Midwest League Tuesday night the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers went on the road and picked up a 4-2 victory over West Michigan. They play again tonight with the first pitch at 5:35 CDT.
In the Northwood League Tuesday the Fond du lac Dock Spiders were shutout on the road by the Green Bay Rockers, 4-0. Both teams will be back in action tonight in Appleton at Neuroscience Group Field (Home of the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers) for the second annual I-41 Showdown. First pitch is set for 6:35 P.M. on The Northwoods League Baseball Network.
The NBA Finals resume tonight in Miami as the Heat host the Denver Nuggets. The series is tied at a game apiece. Miami evened up the series with a 111-108 victory at Denver on Sunday.
The Milwaukee Bucks introduced their new head, Adrian Griffin on Wednesday. He began his coaching career as an assistant with the Bucks and said it’s great to be able to return to Milwaukee. He replaces Mike Budenholzer who was fired shortly after the season ended, following a first-round playoff loss to Miami.
The Packers continue with OTA’s. Early in practice, Jordan Love threw a touchdown pass to 2nd-year receiver Romeo Doubs, up and over one defender and against the end line as well. But then, at the end of practice, Love threw late and across the middle for an interception to Tarvarius Moore. Love has things to work on and the Packers will have their ups and downs with him.
In other notes from Tuesday, both David Bakhtiari and Elgton Jenkins did take part in some team drills.
Marquette coach Shaka Smart has received a contract extension after leading the Golden Eagles to their first outright regular-season championship and tournament title in the Big East..
Smart’s contract now runs through the 2029-30 season. This is the first extension Smart has received since signing a six-year deal when he took over as Marquette’s coach in 2021.
Marquette didn’t release financial terms of Smart’s deal.
“In a very short period of time, Shaka and his staff have done a tremendous job of establishing a winning culture, both on and off the court,” athletic director Bill Scholl said in a statement. “Shaka’s vision for the program is focused on extended, sustainable success. The individuals who interact with the team on a daily basis are able to observe frequent examples of growth and the excitement around the program is contagious.”
Marquette has gone 48-20 in Smart’s two seasons and reached the NCAA Tournament each of those years.
The Golden Eagles went 29-7 and won the Big East’s regular-season and tournament championships last season after the league’s coaches had picked them to finish ninth out of 11 teams. Marquette’s season ended with a 69-60 loss to Michigan State in the NCAA Tournament’s round of 32.
The PGA Tour, DP World Tour and LIV Golf League, which have been embroiled in a bitter legal battle for more than a year, have agreed to unify and move forward in a larger commercial business, the circuits announced Tuesday.
The tours called the stunning development “a landmark agreement … on a global basis.”
“There’s been a lot of tension in our sport over the last couple years,” PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan told CNBC on Tuesday. “What we’re talking about today is coming together to unify the game of golf, and to do so under one umbrella.
“… We’ve recognized that together, we can have a far greater impact on this game than we can working apart. … The game of golf is better for what we’ve done here today.”
The landmark deal between the tours and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) was reached without the knowledge of many PGA Tour members and LIV Golf players and agents.
In a statement, the circuits said the parties have signed an agreement that “combines PIF’s golf-related commercial businesses and rights (including LIV Golf) with the commercial businesses and rights of the PGA Tour and DP World Tour into a new, collectively owned, for-profit entity to ensure that all stakeholders benefit from a model that delivers maximum excitement and competition among the game’s best players.”
The circuits said the agreement ends all pending litigation between the parties.
The three tours said they will work “cooperatively and in good faith to stablish a fair and objective process for any players who desire to reapply for membership with the PGA Tour or DP World Tour following the completion of the 2023 season.”
