Jake Bauers hits 2-run double in the 8th inning to help the Brewers beat the White Sox 6-4

CHICAGO (AP) — Jake Bauers hit a go-ahead two-run double in the eighth inning and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Chicago White Sox 6-4 on Wednesday night for their third straight victory.

Tied at 3 going into the eighth, Milwaukee loaded the bases on two walks and an infield single before Bauers ripped a shot into the gap in right-center field.

Caleb Durbin drove in his eighth run of the season on a sacrifice fly to make it 6-3 in the eighth.

The Brewers have gone 12-1 in their last 13 games against the White Sox, including eight straight wins. Milwaukee is also 8-1 in its last nine games at Rate Field, including seven straight victories.

William Contreras went 2 for 3 with an RBI to extend his hitting streak to nine games. Contreras singled to right in the first for a 1-0 lead and scored when Gage Workman, making his first start for the White Sox, let a soft grounder go under his glove.
