Bazzana's 7th-inning homer helps lift Guardians past Brewers 4-2

MILWAUKEE (AP) --- Travis Bazzana hit a go-ahead solo homer in the seventh
inning, Parker Messick pitched six effective innings and the Cleveland
Guardians beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-2 on Thursday.
David Fry and Kyle Manzardo also homered for the Guardians, who lost the first
two games of the series.
Messick (7-3) held the Brewers to two runs and four hits while striking out
nine in his 96-pitch outing. Cade Smith got four outs for his 24th save in 26
opportunities.
Bazzana's towering home run off Grant Anderson (1-3) in the seventh gave the
Guardians a 3-2 lead. Cleveland tacked on a run in the inning on Drew Rom's
bases-loaded wild pitch.
The Brewers loaded the bases with two outs in the seventh, but Colin Holderman
retired Andrew Vaughn, who worked a full count, to end the inning on a
grounder. Milwaukee loaded the bases again in the eighth with two outs before
Smith struck out Christian Yelich.
Gary Snchez's run-scoring single off Messick gave the Brewers a 1-0 lead in
the second. The Brewers had a chance for more with two on when right fielder
Kahlil Watson, making his major league debut, made a diving catch to end the
inning.
Fry's fourth home run of the season tied it at 1 in the third.
The Brewers took the lead in the fourth when Snchez walked, moved to third on
Blake Perkins' double and scored on Cooper Pratt's sacrifice fly.
The Guardians pulled even again in the sixth on Manzardo's homer off Joel
Kuhnel.
Shane Drohan, making his fifth start, gave up three hits and one run in five
innings. He struck out three and walked three.
