Aguilar homers twice as Anderson, Brewers beat Rockies 8-4

DENVER — Jesus Aguilar homered twice, Chase Anderson won in his return from the disabled list and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Colorado Rockies 8-4 on Sunday for their sixth victory in seven games.

Keon Broxton drove in two runs and Jonathan Villar added three hits as the Brewers remained two games behind first-place Chicago in the NL Central. They climbed within 2½ games of Arizona for the second NL wild card — and are just 3½ back of Colorado, which holds the league's top wild card.

Anderson (7-2) allowed one run and two hits in five effective innings.
