CHICAGO (AP) --- Caleb Durbin hit a two-run single in Milwaukee's four-run
sixth inning, helping the Brewers beat the Chicago White Sox 7-2 on Tuesday
night.
Isaac Collins hit his first career homer for Milwaukee, and Freddy Peralta
pitched six innings of two-run ball. The Brewers improved to 3-5 on a
season-long 10-game road trip.
Chicago used an opener for the fourth consecutive game, tying Tampa Bay in
September 2018 for the longest such streak in major league history, according
to STATS. Tyler Gilbert became the first pitcher to start three times in a
four-game stretch since Zack Greinke for Milwaukee in 2012, according to the
Elias Sports Bureau.
Luis Robert Jr. and Andrew Benintendi homered for the lowly White Sox, who lost
for the 12th time in 15 games.
Gilbert worked two innings before Bryse Wilson took over. The veteran
right-hander cruised into the sixth before running into trouble.
Joey Ortiz reached on an infield single, stole second and scored on William
Contreras' single to right. Sal Frelick was hit by a Brandon Eisert pitch with
the bases loaded, and Durbin's two-out grounder into left field gave the
Brewers a 5-2 lead.
Wilson (0-1) was charged with three runs and two hits in 3 1/3 innings.
Collins hit a drive to left for Milwaukee in the top of the first, but
Benintendi and Robert responded with back-to-back homers in the bottom half of
the inning.
Robert's 415-foot drive to center was his second homer in his last three games
and No. 4 on the season.
Peralta (3-2) allowed three hits --- all in the first --- struck out five and
walked three.
Key moment Chicago had a chance to add to its 2-1 lead in the fifth, but Robert flied out with runners on the corners.
