Phillies' Arrieta Struggles As Milwaukee Slugs Philadelphia 13-2
MILWAUKEE (CBS/AP) — It seems that the Brew Crew has the Phillies' number.
Brent Suter drove in two runs and pitched a season-high seven innings, Christian Yelich, Hernan Perez and Jesus Aguilar homered and the NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers beat Jake Arrieta and the Philadelphia Phillies 13-2 on Friday night.
The Brewers chased Arrieta in the fourth, keeping him winless in three starts in June.
Suter reached on a fielding error by left fielder Rhy Hoskins and scored on Cain's double. Yelich hit the first pitch for his ninth home run of the season.
Perez started the sixth by homering off reliever Mark Leiter Jr. Suter sliced an opposite-field base hit for his second RBI in the game.
Philadelphia infielder Jesmuel Valentin pitched the eighth and surrendered Aguilar's two-run homer and Manny Pina' run-scoring grounder.
Cesar Hernandez went 3 for 3 with an RBI double in the sixth. Odubel Herrera hit a solo homer in the ninth.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Phillies: RHP Pat Neshek (right shoulder strain) threw and ran some sprints in preparation for throwing a bullpen session on Sunday. RHP Jerad Eickhoff (right lat strain) threw Friday and should throw another bullpen on Tuesday.
Brewers: 2B Jonathan Villar missed his second consecutive game with a calf injury. He left Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Chicago Cubs after legging out an infield single in the eighth inning.
UP NEXT
