MILWAUKEE (AP) — Christian Yelich and Omar Narváez hit back-to-back homers in the eighth inning and the Milwaukee Brewers beat Arizona 7-5 Saturday, the Diamondbacks’ team-record 16th straight road loss.
Milwaukee has won 13 of its last 16 against Arizona dating to the start of the 2018 season. The Brewers are 11-3 against NL West opponents this season.
Yelich, slowed by injuries this year, led off the eighth with his third home run, tagging Joakim Soria (0-2) for a 6-5 lead. The former NL MVP connected after he stepped out of the batter’s box and walked toward the dugout after disagreeing with a second strike on an appeal to third base umpire Joe West.
Narváez followed with his sixth home run of the season.
Devin Williams (2-0) pitched a scoreless eighth and Josh Hader retired the side in order in the ninth for his 14th save in as many chances.
Josh Rojas hit two home runs for Arizona.
After failing to get a hit until the eighth inning on Friday night, the Diamondbacks jumped on top right away when Rojas led off the game with a home run to straightaway center off Brandon Woodruff. The Brewers ace hadn’t given up a run in either of his previous two starts covering a total of 14 innings.
In the fourth, Pavin Smith led off with a single and scored on Josh Reddick’s double to give Arizona a 2-0 lead.
