MILWAUKEE (AP) — William Contreras went 4 for 4 and hit a tiebreaking two-out single in the eighth inning as the Milwaukee Brewers won 5-4 on Monday night to hand the Baltimore Orioles their seventh consecutive loss.

Milwaukee responded in the eighth.
Brice Turang drew a two-out walk against Yennier Cano (0-4) and stole second. Contreras then hit a shot that got past shortstop Gunnar Henderson’s diving attempt and went into center field to bring home Turang.
Contreras also singled in the first inning, doubled in the third and fifth innings, and walked in the sixth. His four hits matched a career high.
Mullins drew a leadoff walk in the ninth and stole second with one out, but Trevor Megill retired Adley Rutschman and Jackson Holliday on flies to left to earn his seventh save in eight opportunities.
Baltimore’s Ramón Laureano hit a solo shot and went 3 for 4.
Milwaukee’s Abner Uribe (2-0) earned the win by working a scoreless eighth inning.

With the score tied 4-all, the Orioles left the go-ahead run on third in the seventh and couldn’t capitalize on a two-on, one-out situation in the eighth. Jared Koenig struck out Maverick Handley to end the seventh. Uribe struck out Ryan O’Hearn and Ramón UrÃas to strand runners on first and second in the eighth.
Key stat
Contreras has gone 9 of 16 over his last five games, improving his batting average from .224 to .258.
