They instead can try again to clinch for the third straight game on Friday against Tampa Bay.<\/p>\n<p>Philadelphia surely play without NL batting leader Luis Arraez after he came off with a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MLBONFOX\/status\/2103270614156906751?s=20\" data-link=\"native\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow\">sprained left ankle<\/a> after he tried to avoid a tag at first base.<\/p>\n<p>Milwaukee reached one more milestone to go with its National League Central title and a first-round postseason bye. The Brewers are the first team this year to 100 wins and are trying to hold off the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers for the No. 1 seed in the NL playoffs. Their previous high was 97 wins last year.<\/p>\n<p>Brewers fans crowded the seats behind the dugout and held \u201c100\u201d signs as players left the field.<\/p>\n<p>Bryce Harper tied the game 1-1 with an RBI single in the third.<\/p>\n<p>Jake Bauers hit the tiebreaking single off Jos\u00e9 Alvarado (5-4) in the eighth inning, and Cooper Pratt and Joey Ortiz added run-scoring singles in the inning for a 4-1 lead. Chourio hit a solo shot in the ninth.<\/p>\n<p>JoJo Romero (3-3) got the win and Antonio Senzatela earned his fourth save.<\/p>\n<p>Phillies starter Andrew Painter had another terrific outing in a second half rebound that should see him play a role in the postseason in the rotation or out of the bullpen. He allowed Sam Frelick&#8217;s RBI double in the second and finished with eight strikeouts and three walks in six innings.<\/p>\n<p>The rookie right-hander was demoted to the minors in June after a 12-4 loss to Miami left him with eight losses in nine decisions and a 7.06 ERA. Since his July 31 recalled has a 3.65 ERA in 11 starts with 62 strikeouts to 23 walks.<\/p>\n<p>Philadelphia got more good pitching news earlier in the day when All-Star lefty Jes\u00fas Luzardo said he has recovered enough from left shoulder inflammation that he should be able to pitch next week in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Milwaukee tunes up for the playoffs with a three-game homestand against St. Louis.<\/p>\n<p>Philadelphia sends LHP Cristopher S\u00e1nchez (18-6, 2.93 ERA) to the mound Friday when the Phillies open a three-game series against AL East champion Tampa Bay.<\/p>\n<p>\n               See AP\u2019s full MLB coverage here<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHILADELPHIA (AP) \u2014 The Milwaukee Brewers reached 100 wins for the first time, and Jackson Chourio hit his&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":813537,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2397],"tags":[5161,3569,5,18526,1207,5143,3875,4364,1513,8534,1104,85,4,9500,9501,144,25,4216,40,9496,9497,36947,82744,99066],"class_list":["post-813536","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia-phillies","tag-andrew-painter","tag-antonio-senzatela","tag-baseball","tag-brewers-phillies-score","tag-bryce-harper","tag-cristopher-sanchez","tag-jackson-chourio","tag-jake-bauers","tag-joey-ortiz","tag-jojo-romero","tag-jose-alvarado","tag-luis-arraez","tag-mlb","tag-package-100024-ap-online","tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-phillies","tag-philadelphiaphillies","tag-phillies","tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","tag-product-32562-ap-online-other-sports-news","tag-product-40809-ap-pennsylvania-sports-only","tag-product-40822-ap-wisconsin-sports-only","tag-sam-frelick"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/813536","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=813536"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/813536\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/813537"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=813536"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=813536"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=813536"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
