Brice Turang also had three hits, which included two doubles, Joey Ortiz had two hits and drove in a run and Brandon Lockridge had an RBI single. <\/p>\n<p>Yelich moved to third on a base hit by Jake Bauers before Mitchell hit a two-run single to center that made it 3-0. Brewers Sean Burke (0-1) fielded Yelich\u2019s checked-swing dribbler in the second and threw wildly to first. Turang raced home on play to give Milwaukee a four-run lead.<\/p>\n<p>Murakami homered off starter Chad Patrick to lead off the fourth inning. The Japanese slugger, who signed a two-year $34-million deal in December after playing eight seasons (2018-2025) with the Yakult Swallows of the Nippon Professional Baseball League, made his debut Thursday in the opener, a 14-2 loss, and hit a solo shot. <\/p>\n<p>Lockridge\u2019s base hit in the sixth and Ortiz\u2019s single in the seventh put insurance runs on the board.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron Ashby (1-0) struck out four of the seven batters he faced in relief of Patrick, who went 4 1\/3 innings and allowed a run.<\/p>\n<p>Burke lost his career-high seventh consecutive road game since beating Detroit in Sept. 2024. He allowed four runs, three earned, and had five strikeouts. <\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Milwaukee Brewers' Garrett Mitchell (5) steals second base against Chicago...\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"770\" height=\"433.125\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1774774335_507_image.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Milwaukee Brewers&#8217; Garrett Mitchell (5) steals second base against Chicago White Sox shortstop Colson Montgomery (12) during the seventh inning of a baseball game, Saturday, March 28, 2026, in Milwaukee.
