William Contreras drew a game-ending, bases-loaded walk, giving the Milwaukee Brewers a 6-5 victory over the visiting Seattle Mariners on Friday in the opener of a three-game series.
Seattle's Andres Munoz (0-1) relieved to start the inning and walked Sal Frelick, pinch-hitter Jake Bauers and Brice Turang -- the bottom of the order. Rookie Jackson Chourio was called out on strikes, but Contreras drew a five-pitch walk to give Milwaukee its fifth win in six games.
The Mariners tied it 5-5 in the top of the ninth with two runs off Brewers closer Abner Uribe (1-0), who had saved his first three opportunities. Uribe wound up posting his first career win.
Dylan Moore and Samad Taylor opened the Seattle ninth with back-to-back singles, putting runners on the corners. Luis Urias drove in Moore with a ground-rule double to right-center. After J.P. Crawford grounded out to the pitcher, Taylor scored from third on Julio Rodriguez's groundout.
Christian Yelich, who struck out his first two at-bats, put the Brewers up 4-3 with one out in the sixth with his third homer. He lined a 431-foot solo shot to right off Seattle starter Logan Gilbert.
The Brewers made it 5-3 in the eighth with a run off Ryne Stanek on singles by Contreras, Willy Adames and Oliver Dunn.
Seattle, held to one hit through five innings by Brewers starter Freddy Peralta, erased a 3-0 deficit with three runs in the sixth.
Crawford singled to open the frame, and Rodriguez was hit by a pitch. After Jorge Polanco popped out, Mitch Haniger singled home Crawford. Both runners advanced on a wild pitch. Mitch Garver followed with a sacrifice fly to make it 3-2. Cal Raleigh tied it with a single to right, chasing Peralta.
Milwaukee took a 2-0 lead in the second. Adames opened with his first home run. Frelick singled with two outs, stole second and scored on Joey Ortiz's double over the head of Haniger in right.
Dunn made it 3-0 in fourth with his first career home run, a 413-foot drive to right.
