Willy Adames punctuated a five-run sixth inning with a two-run homer on Wednesday, helping the Milwaukee Brewers win 5-4 over the Toronto Blue Jays.
The visitors were leading 1-0 when a double steal involving Brice Turang and Blake Perkins allowed the latter to level the score. William Contreras and Christian Yelich then hit one-run singles before the 11e long ball from Adames.
Yelich had three of 11 hits for the Brewers, who won two of three games in the series.
Tobias Myers (3-2) excelled in six innings, giving up just one run and three hits. He struck out four batters and allowed one walk.
Last Friday, the rookie right-hander gave up just one hit in eight innings in Detroit.
“I think I did a good job being precise today. It created openings for me to throw curveballs in the fifth inning,” Myers said. We continued our momentum after last week. »
Trevor Megill collected an 11e rescue.
Bo Bichette was on third base for the last out, a fly ball from Vladimir Guerrero to the warning track in center field.
The Brewers have won their last six home series.
Jays starting pitcher Chris Bassitt gave up five hits in five innings. He struck out five batters, but he also allowed four walks.
“He hit some important pitches even though he didn’t have his best control,” Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. He acted like a veteran and made good shots in important moments. »
In two thirds of an inning, Zach Pop (0-1) allowed three runs, two hits and a walk.
Davis Schneider homered in a losing cause.
The Blue Jays will host the Cleveland Guardians starting Friday for a three-game series.
