The Milwaukee Brewers secured a 7-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks in an 11-inning contest on Friday night.

Brice Turang followed with a two-run single to extend the lead.
Garrett Mitchell had put the Brewers ahead early with an eighth-inning home run. However, the Diamondbacks fought back, tying the game in the third inning. Both starting pitchers struggled, with Milwaukee's Kyle Harrison charged with three runs and Arizona's José Cabrera allowing three hits and three runs.
