MILWAUKEE (AP) \u2014 Christian Yelich hit a go-ahead, two-run single in a six-run eighth inning and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Tampa Bay Rays 8-2 on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Garrett Mitchell added a two-run double during the decisive rally, Blake Perkins drove in a run with a groundout and David Hamilton capped the inning with an RBI single as Milwaukee (5-1) broke open a 2-2 game.<\/p>\n

Brice Turang tied it earlier with a two-run homer in the third after the Rays took the lead on Yandy D\u00edaz\u2019s two-run shot in the top half of the inning.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee starter Jacob Misiorowski (1-0) struck out seven and allowed four hits and two runs in six innings. The right-hander walked two before handing the game to the bullpen. Grant Anderson, Aaron Ashby and DL Hall combined for three scoreless innings, with Hall striking out three in the ninth.<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay (2-4) starter Drew Rasmussen allowed one run and two hits while striking out eight in five innings.<\/p>\n

The Brewers\u2019 eighth-inning surge opened after Joey Ortiz reached on a fielding error by shortstop Carson Williams. Turang\u2019s sacrifice bunt was mishandled at first base, putting runners on first and second. William Contreras then singled to load the bases.<\/p>\n

Yelich followed with a ground-ball single to right field that scored Ortiz and Turang for a 4-2 lead. Mitchell\u2019s double to right brought home two more runs before Perkins\u2019 RBI groundout and Hamilton\u2019s single extended the lead to 8-2. Milwaukee went 5 for 9 with runners in scoring position.<\/p>\n

Griffin Jax (0-2) took the loss after allowing five runs in the eighth inning.<\/p>\n

Umpire C.B. Bucknor left the game in the second inning after being struck in the mask by a foul ball off Nick Fortes\u2019 bat on a 100.2 mph fastball from Misiorowski.<\/p>\n

Chad Patrick (0-0, 2.08 ERA) will make his second start of the season against the Kansas City Royals on Friday, while Joe Boyle (0-0, 3.00 ERA) takes the mound for Tampa Bay on Friday against the Minnesota Twins.<\/p>\n
