MILWAUKEE (AP) — Ryan Braun hit a grand slam to tie Robin Yount’s franchise home run mark, lifting the Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday and a sweep of the season series.
Rookie Taylor Jungmann (7-4) set a career high with nine strikeouts in 6 1-3 scoreless innings. Francisco Rodriguez converted his 29th save by getting out of two-out, bases-loaded jam in the ninth.
Braun finished with five RBIs. His 251st career homer came with two outs in the fifth when he hit Aaron Harang’s fastball off the scoreboard girder in left-center field.
