Orlando Arcia opened the eighth with a single off Elvis Peguero (1-3). Arcia was forced at second when Michael Harris reached on a fielder's choice.

The three runs were the first in 10 games off the Brewers' bullpen, ending their scoreless streak at 28 2/3 consecutive innings
Daysbel Hernandez (1-0), making his major league debut, got the victory after striking out the side in the seventh inning.
