Sal Frelick ends Brewers’ home-run drought in 13-2 blowout of Diamondbacks

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Sal Frelick hit a solo shot to end Milwaukee’s stretch of seven straight games without a homer and Tyler Black went 3 for 5 with three RBIs as the Brewers trounced the Arizona Diamondbacks 13-2 on Tuesday night.

Milwaukee broke the game open by scoring eight runs in the sixth off reliever Andrew Hoffmann, whose earned run average rose from 2.38 to 8.49.

Arizona’s Ildemaro Vargas singled in the eighth inning and has hit safely in all 21 games he has played this season. Vargas actually has a 24-game hitting streak if his last three games from 2025 are included.

Vargas has matched the third-longest, single-season hitting streak in Diamondbacks history. The record belongs to Luis Gonzalez, who had a 30-game hitting streak in 1999.
