Rookie Trent Grisham's homer lifts Brewers past Twins 6-5

MILWAUKEE � Trent Grisham, playing in his 11th major league game, hit a three-run home run off reliever Sergio Romo in the bottom of the eighth inning as the Milwaukee Brewers rallied for a 6-5 victory over the Twins on Wednesday at Miller Park.

The inning started when Ryan Braun was safe on an error by Twins shortstop Jorge Polanco. After Hernan Perez singled, the 22-year-old Grisham drove a fastball from Romo, who got the save in Tuesday's 7-5 Twins victory, into the upper deck in right for his second major league homer.

Miguel Sano, Eddie Rosario and Mitch Garver homered for the Twins, and Polanco had a two-run single as the Twins built a 5-2 lead by the fourth inning.

The Twins remained a half-game ahead of Cleveland in the American League Central after the Indians lost to Boston.
