Higgins doubles, Cubs break through to beat Hader, Brewers

MILWAUKEE (AP) - P.J. Higgins hit a tiebreaking two-out double off Josh Hader in the ninth inning, and the Chicago Cubs rallied for a 2-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday.

After Brewers starter Corbin Burnes threw seven shutout innings, the Cubs broke through against Milwaukee's bullpen by scoring in each of the last two frames. The Cubs took two of three at Milwaukee and have followed a 10-game losing streak by winning four straight series.

Patrick Wisdom led off the ninth with a walk for Chicago and stole second one out later. Higgins brought home Wisdom by sending a 1-1 slider from Hader (0-2) just inside the right-field line.

David Robertson retired the side in order for his 12th save in 16 opportunities.

Keston Hiura homered for the Brewers. Mychal Givens (5-0) worked the eighth for Chicago.

WHITE SOX 9, TWINS 8, 10 INNINGS

CHICAGO (AP) - Andrew Vaughn tied the game with a two-run homer in the eighth inning, and Leury Garcia hit a game-ending single in the 10th to give Chicago the win over Minnesota.

The White Sox trailed five times in the game and tied it each time before taking their first and only lead in extra innings to avoid a three-game sweep. Chicago snapped a seven-game losing streak to the AL Central-leading Twins.

  • Playing his first game since April 23, Eloy Jimenez made an immediate impact for the White Sox, hitting a two-run homer and an RBI single.

    Jose Ruiz (1-0) walked Jose Miranda to start the 10th but got out of trouble with an inning-ending double play.

    Ramon Laureano homered for the A's, who failed to complete their first sweep of the season.

    Blue Jays starter Jose Berrios pitched six strong innings, allowing one run on four hits with six strikeouts and a walk. Adam Cimber (8-2) followed with two perfect frames.

    Jordan Romano worked the ninth for his 18th save in 21 opportunities.

    Michael Pineda (2-3) allowed two runs and five hits over five innings. Four Tigers relievers combined to pitch four innings of scoreless relief.

    Cleveland's Shane Bieber (4-4) gave up five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out six over 5 2/3 innings.
