A ninth-inning comeback erased a rare bullpen meltdown for the Brewers as they defeated the Phillies 7-5 on Friday night.
The decisive play came in the bottom of the eighth on a bases-loaded ground ball hit to third base by Owen Miller. Alec Bohm missed the ball, clearing the bases and giving the Brewers the lead.
The Brewers began September by deploying the formula that has served them well for most of the season. Freddy Peralta followed up his excellent August by striking out 10 in six innings while allowing just a solo home run to Kyle Schwarber.
