INTERLEAGUE
BREWERS 5, RAYS 3
MILWAUKEE -- Andrew McCutchen and Kolten Wong each drove in two runs and the Milwaukee Brewers broke out of their slump to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-3 on Tuesday night.
The Brewers won for just the second time in eight games. They're 2-5 and have fallen out of first place in the National League Central since trading four-time All-Star closer Josh Hader to the San Diego Padres last week.
Yandy Diaz hit a two-run homer for the Rays. Brewers center fielder Tyrone Taylor made a leaping catch to rob Tampa Bay's David Peralta of a homer in the second inning.
Milwaukee's Freddy Peralta (4-2) struck out 4 while allowing 2 runs, 2 hits and no walks over 5 innings in his second start since coming off the injured list. Peralta, who threw 65 pitches Tuesday, had missed nearly 2 1/2 months with a shoulder injury.
Matt Bush struck out two and retired the side in order in the ninth to earn his second save of the season.
McCutchen hit an RBI ground-rule double in the first inning and put the Brewers ahead for good with a run-scoring single in the fifth. His double hit the warning track and bounced over the center-field wall to bring home Christian Yelich, who had drawn a leadoff walk.
Yacabonis was filling the role of an opener and worked only the first inning before giving way to Ryan Yarbrough.
Peralta led off the top of the second with a drive to right center, but Taylor timed his jump correctly and reached his glove over the wall to make the catch and prevent a game-tying homer. Taylor added a two-out RBI single in the bottom of the second to extend Milwaukee's lead to 2-0.
Diaz tied it in the third when he broke out of an 0-for-21 slump with a homer to right center.
The Brewers regained the lead in the fifth. McCutchen greeted Ryan Thompson with a single to drive in Willy Adames.
BRAVES 9, RED SOX 7 (11) Austin Riley had a go-ahead, two-run single in the 11th inning and Atlanta beat host Boston. Riley also hit his 30th home run of the season and an RBI triple to help Atlanta snap its first three-game losing streak of the season.
