MILWAUKEE, WI (WHBL) – The Milwaukee Brewers won in dramatic fashion Thursday night, beating the San Diego Padres in the first game of a four-game series at Anerican Family Field.
Jace Peterson tied the score in the ninth inning with a three-run triple and slumping Andrew McCutchen followed with a game-ending single as the Milwaukee Brewers rallied past the San Diego Padres 5-4.
Jorge Alfaro’s two-run homer in the sixth off Brent Suter gave the Padres a 3-1 lead.
Eric Hosmer made it 4-1 with an RBI double in the eighth.
Taylor Rogers took over in the ninth for San Diego. He gave up a leadoff single to Keston Hiura, then hit two straight batters with pitches to load the bases for Peterson, who sent a drive off the wall in center field.
Padres manager Bob Melvin called on Nabil Crismatt to face McCutchen, who snapped an 0-for-32 skid with a base hit to win it in walk-off fashion.
Game two of the series is set for Friday night. Pregame coverage on WHBL begins at 6:35.
