Rough second inning sinks Brewers, Crew loses 9-4

The Milwaukee Brewers (40-33) lost to the Toronto Blue Jays (40-30) in the first game of a three-game interleague set at American Family Field on Friday night by a score of 9-4.

The Blue Jays scored five of their nine runs in the top of the second inning, as they loaded the bases with no outs and Matt Chapman hit a three-run double followed by an additional double by Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and a run-scoring double play by Santiago Espinal.

Following the strong second by Toronto, the game stayed quiet until Christian Yelich hit into a force out in the bottom of the fifth to cut the lead to 5-1.
