Miami Marlins at Milwaukee Brewers

MILWAUKEE – Garrett Mitchell struck out with the go-ahead run in scoring position in the eighth inning Friday night and returned to the dugout fuming. Brewers reliever Abner Uribe was waiting for him. “Abner was just saying, ‘You’re going to come up here and you’re going to win us the game. So just stay ready,’” Mitchell said. “That was a really good move. A good teammate right there to pick me back up and keep me locked in. It kept my mind in the right spot.” He was in the right spot to make one nice running catch to end the top of the ninth inning, another nice running catch to end the top of the 10th, and in the right spot once again in the bottom of the 10th to ground a two-out single up the middle for a 2-1 Brewers win over the Marlins at American Family Field. “I told myself the inning before, ‘If I get up here, I’m going to end this game,’” Mitchell said. “That was my internal thought process.” Miami’s Griffin Conine and Milwaukee’s Joey Ortiz traded solo home runs in the fifth inning on a night that began as a pitchers’ duel between Sandy Alcantara and Logan Henderson. The teams remained tied at 1-1 into the bottom of the ninth, when the Brewers put the winning run in scoring position with two outs but missed a prime chance to score when Jackson Chourio took a called third strike on an inside pitch but elected not to challenge.
