Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Jake Bauers (9) hits a grand slam home run off of Texas Rangers pitcher Nathan Eovaldi during the third inning of their game Wednesday, June 26, 2024 at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Andruw Monasterio hit a walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the 10th, lifting the Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-5 win over the visiting Texas Rangers on Wednesday.

Christian Yelich and Sal Frelick each finished with three hits while Jake Bauers hit a third-inning grand slam for the Brewers, who won their fourth straight game.

Nathaniel Lowe went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBIs for Texas, which was swept in the three-game series.

Jared Koenig (7-1) pitched a scoreless top of the tenth for Milwaukee. In the bottom of the inning, Jacob Latz (2-3) relieved Kirby Yates. Latz retired Bauers on a popout, then intentionally walked Rhys Hoskins.

After Frelick popped out, automatic runner Willy Adames advanced to third on a wild pitch, with Hoskins soon moving to second on defensive indifference. Monasterio then singled to center to bring home Adames.

Adames had struck out with runners on second and third with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to send the game to extras.

In the top of the second, Adolis Garcia and Wyatt Langford led off with consecutive singles against Milwaukee starter Dallas Keuchel. Lowe then smacked an RBI single to open the scoring.

The Brewers answered in the third, taking a 4-1 lead when Bauers clubbed his grand slam.

Texas moved back in front in the top of the fourth. Langford walked and scored on a two-run shot from Lowe, then Jonah Heim sent the next pitch from Keuchel over the left-center-field wall to make it 4-4.

Robbie Grossman added a run-scoring single later in the frame to give the Rangers the lead.

Jackson Chourio tied things at 5 with an inside-the-park home run in the home half of the fourth. Neither team scored for the next five frames.

Keuchel lasted four innings, giving up five runs and eight hits. He walked one and struck out four after having his contract selected from Triple-A Nashville earlier in the day.

Rangers starter Nathan Eovaldi yielded five runs on nine hits in seven innings, walking one and fanning four.
