CHICAGO (AP) — Caleb Durbin hit a two-run single in
Milwaukee's four-run sixth inning, helping the Brewers beat the Chicago
White Sox 7-2 on Tuesday night.
Isaac Collins hit his first career homer for Milwaukee, and Freddy
Peralta pitched six innings of two-run ball. The Brewers improved to 3-5

Chicago used an opener for the fourth
consecutive game, tying Tampa Bay in September 2018 for the
longest such streak in major league history, according to STATS.
Tyler Gilbert became the first pitcher to start three times in a
four-game stretch since Zack Greinke for Milwaukee in 2012,
according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Luis Robert Jr. and Andrew Benintendi homered for the lowly
White Sox, who lost for the 12th time in 15 games.
Gilbert worked two innings before Bryse Wilson took over. The
veteran right-hander cruised into the sixth before running into
trouble.
Joey Ortiz reached on an infield single, stole second and scored
on William Contreras' single to right. Sal Frelick was hit by a
Brandon Eisert pitch with the bases loaded, and Durbin's two-out
grounder into left field gave the Brewers a 5-2 lead.
Wilson (0-1) was charged with three runs and two hits in 3 1/3
innings.
Collins hit a drive to left for Milwaukee in the top of the
first, but Benintendi and Robert responded with back-to-back
homers in the bottom half of the inning.
Robert's 415-foot drive to center was his second homer in his
last three games and No. 4 on the season.
Peralta (3-2) allowed three hits — all in the first — struck out
five and walked three.
Key moment
Chicago had a chance to add to its 2-1 lead in the fifth, but
Robert flied out with runners on the corners.
Key stat
The Brewers improved to 11-1 in their last 12 games against the
White Sox.
Up next
Brewers right-hander Tobias Myers (0-0, 4.50 ERA) and White Sox
right-hander Shane Smith (1-1, 2.30 ERA) take the mound on
Wednesday night.
