MILWAUKEE, WI (WHBL) – It was the first extra-inning game this season for the Milwaukee Brewers and the team made it a memorable one with a 7-6, 11 inning win over the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday afternoon at American Family Field.
Keston Hiura, just called up from AAA Nashville the previous day, hit a two-run walk-off homer in the bottom of the 11th inning to win it. Hiura had replaced the injured Willy Adames on the roster.
The Brewers tied the game with two outs in the ninth inning on a triple from Kolten Wong. The Braves re-took the lead in the 10th but Milwaukee again tied it on a Hunter Renfroe sac-fly.
Renfroe and Tyrone Taylor had two hits each plus an RBI. Other RBIs went to Rowdy Tellez and Mike Brosseau.
Corbin Burnes started and went 6 innings, giving up four runs on seven hits with 5 strikeouts. Trevor Kelly picked up his first major league win despite giving up an unearned run in the 11th.
Milwaukee, now 24-14, have Thursday off and will begin a three game weekend series with the Washington Nationals on Friday at American Family Field.
