Jackson Chourio contributed a grand slam, while Rhys Hoskins also hit a home run, leading the Brewers (81-57) to their sixth victory in seven games.

Milwaukee's starting pitcher, Freddy Peralta (10-7), permitted three runs on six hits over 5 1/3 innings, recording three strikeouts and two walks.

In another matchup, the Orioles defeated the White Sox 13-3. Gunnar Henderson initiated the scoring with a home run in the first inning, leading to a decisive victory for the host Baltimore team over Chicago.

Cedric Mullins recorded three hits, including a home run, and drove in three runs, while Austin Slater also contributed three hits and three RBIs.

On the other hand, White Sox starter Chris Flexen (2-14) allowed three runs on seven hits in 3 1/3 innings, marking him as the pitcher with the most losses in the majors this season. Chicago briefly led with two runs in the first inning but ultimately suffered its 11th consecutive defeat.

In a close contest, the Twins edged the Rays 5-4. Trevor Larnach hit a three-run homer, and Brooks Lee also contributed a home run as Minnesota commenced its seven-game road trip with a victory in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Larnach's significant hit came in the second inning, and he finished the game with a 1-for-3 performance, scoring two runs and drawing two walks for Minnesota (75-62).
