GAME RECAP

IMPACT PLAYER

Eric Thames, Milwaukee

The right fielder's two-run homer in the fifth accounted for all the scoring.

BY THE NUMBERS

0 Putouts or assists for Joe Mauer, the first time since 2016 that has happened to a first baseman who has played the entire game.

8 Strikeouts for Junior Guerra, one shy of his season high.

ON DECK

It's up to Twins righthander Jose Berrios to stop the slide Wednesday when the starts in the series finale. He lasted just 4 1/3 innings in the heat Friday at Wrigley Field in his last start. Brewers righthander Chase Anderson has held opponents to a .208 batting average.
