Brewers Score Late, Clip Twins, 9-8
The Milwaukee Brewers beat the Minnesota Twins, 9-8, in part because of catcher Johnny Romano. He was 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. Milwaukee reliever Mike Fiers got the win, raising his record to 4-1. Rusty Meacham was tagged with the loss. Jonathan Broxton recorded the save, his 33rd.

In the bottom of the eighth, Milwaukee designated hitter José Abreu gave his team the lead. With two out and runners on 1st and 2nd, Mal Tiempo hit his 8th double of the year. Minnesota pitcher Rusty Meacham surrendered it. With that, the Brewers jumped in front, 9-8.

Romano told a local reporter: "My job is to go out and play as hard as I can."

The Brewers sport a record of 100-57.
