The Brewers turned a one-run deficit into a three-run lead against Madison Bumgarner and the Giants in a tense sixth inning Sunday, punctuated by Jonathan Schoop's two-out grand slam that sent Milwaukee to a 6-3 win and a three-game sweep at Miller Park.

With their 14th win in 19 games, the 82-62 Brewers moved 20 games over .500 for the first time since the end of 2011 and pulled within two games of the National League Central-leading Cubs ahead of a critical three-game set at Wrigley Field that begins Monday night.
