Pivotal sixth inning sinks Brewers in 5-3 loss to Red Sox

The Red Sox flipped the script on the Brewers in the sixth inning as Milwaukee lost 5-3 on Friday night.

Boston jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the third inning when Alex Verdugo homered off Freddy Peralta.

The Milwaukee offense answered with a run in the bottom half of the inning on an RBI single by Christian Yelich. In the fourth, the Brewers took a 3-2 lead with a two-run inning. Rowdy Tellez blasted his sixth home run of the year, and Brice Turang singled to drive in William Contreras, who scored on an excellent slide into home plate.
