MILWAUKEE — Eric Thames hit a pair of home runs and Jimmy Nelson pitched seven strong innings to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday.
Stephen Vogt and Travis Shaw also homered for the Brewers.
The Brewers jumped ahead on Stephen Vogt’s two-run homer in the second off Orioles starter Ubaldo Jimenez (3-4). Vogt has three home runs since being claimed off waivers last week. Keon Broxton followed with a bunt single, then stole second and scored on Orlando Arcia’s single.
Eric Thames belted a solo home run off Jimenez with one out in the fifth.
