Walks, hit batters doom Tigers as Brewers end six-game win streak, 8-5

Milwaukee – Ineffectively wild.

That will be the epitaph on the death of the Tigers six-game winning streak. Ten walks and two hit batsmen led to six runs as the Milwaukee Brewers came back from a 4-0 deficit and beat the Tigers 8-5 at Miller Park Wednesday.

The Brewers broke a 5-5 tie in the seventh. Reliever Joe Jimenez walked Justin Smoak and hit Avisail Garcia to start the inning. With one out, Luis Urias singled to load the bases and Eric Sogard hit a sacrifice fly to center breaking the tie.

Then in the eighth, after a lead-off walk to Christian Yellich, Buck Farmer gave up a two-out, two-run home run to pinch-hitter Jace Peterson.
