Marlins cool off Brewers to open series
Kyle Stowers homered and scored twice for Miami, which has won five of seven coming out of the All-Star break.
Marlins starter Cal Quantrill allowed one run and three hits in five innings. He struck out four and didn't walk a batter.
Josh Simpson pitched a scoreless sixth for the Marlins. Anthony Bender stranded two runners in scoring position in the seventh. Ronny Henriquez retired the side in order in the eighth, and Calvin Faucher left runners on second and third in the ninth.
Brewers starter Freddy Peralta allowed one run and five hits in five-plus innings. He struck out nine and walked two.
Jackson Chourio homered for the Brewers, who had won 12 of 13. That extended Chourio's hitting streak to 18 games.
Stowers hit an opposite-field solo homer to left-center field in the third inning to give Miami a 1-0 lead.
Chourio tied it up 1-1 when he blasted a two-out solo home run over the fence in center in the fourth.
Xavier Edwards started the four-run seventh by beating out an infield single up the middle off Brewers reliever Aaron Ashby . Nick Mears came in with one out and issued back-to-back walks to load the bases.
Lopez then lined a double into the right-center field gap. Blake Perkins bobbled the ball in center, allowing a third run to come home on the play while Lopez continued to third.
Liam Hicks hit a sacrifice fly to deep right to score Lopez for a 5-1 lead.
An unusual sequence of events occurred in the first inning.
Miami designated hitter Agustin Ramirez hit a high fly to center with two outs that Perkins appeared to briefly glove after he leaped and reached over the center field fence. The ball came out of his webbing as he pulled it back, however, and bounced along the top of the fence before coming down on the warning track.
The play was initially ruled a home run, but after a crew chief review Ramirez was placed at second base because the Milwaukee defense had given up on the play after seeing it ruled a home run.
Ramirez stole third and Stowers walked, but they were stranded on the corners.

'If Aaron Judge needs Tommy John…': Yankees fans fear the worst amid elbow injury scare
New York Yankees fans fear the worst with Aaron Judge facing what could be a massive injury scare. The 33-year-old did not make it to the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies after facing issues with his elbow throughout the week. Manager Aaron Boone confirmed that the team is awaiting the results of imaging on the right elbow. Aaron Judge (99) runs after hitting a home run against the Atlanta Braves during the first inning at Truist Park(IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect) Judge seemed uncomfortable on Tuesday against the Toronto Blue Jays when he grabbed his right hand after a pitch. He had been used as a designated hitter in the next game. At the time, Boone said that 'it was no big deal'. However, the situation has changed since. According to the Yankees manager, the outfielder, a seven-time MLB All-Star, had difficulty throwing the ball from the outfield. 'He was fine during the day off, but last night he really struggled. He couldn't throw well from the outfield, so he was imaged today and now we're waiting for the results.' With the Yankees sliding over the past two months, a major injury to Judge could dent their season hopes. The team is currently 56-47 and is five and a half games behind the lead in the American League East. They have lose three of their last four games, including a 12-5 defeat in the Phillies series opener. Now, fans fear a UCL tear, which refers to an injury of the ulnar collateral ligament located on the inner side of the elbow. This type of tear would need a Tommy John surgery - sidelining Aaron Judge till potentially 2027. 'AARON JUDGE DOESN'T NEED TOMMY JOHN SURGERY! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏,' one fan wrote on X, platform formerly known as Twitter. 'Aaron Judge needing Tommy John would be one of the wildest things I've seen in baseball in a minute,' another one tweeted. 'If Aaron Judge needs Tommy John surgery just cancel the entire season and next,' a third fan wrote. In the current season, Judge has had 129 hits, a .342 batting average, as well as 37 home runs and 85 RBIs in 103 games. These are MVP-worthy stats. His arm, however, is struggling. The 33-year-old has barely reached 55 mph in recent throws.

Phillies' Aaron Nola will make his first minor league rehab start on Thursday
NEW YORK (AP) — Philadelphia pitcher Aaron Nola will make his first injury rehabilitation start Thursday for Triple-A Lehigh Valley at Worcester as he works his way back from a sprained right ankle and fractured rib that have sidelined him since May. HT Image Nola threw batting practice on Friday. Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Saturday the 32-year-old right-hander will throw about 60 pitches in the Triple-A game. Nola hurt the ankle during agility drills on May 8. He made a pair of ineffective starts and was placed on the IL effective May 15. Nola threw a bullpen session June 1 and felt sore a few days later. An MRI showed a stress fracture of a rib, Thomson revealed June 10. On the IL for a physical injury for the first time since 2017, Nola was 1-7 with a 6.16 ERA in nine starts and 49 2/3 innings. Right fielder Nick Castellanos was out of the starting lineup Saturday, a day after getting hurt in the Phillies' 12-5 win over the Yankees. 'The last play last night where he went back towards the wall, just kind of jammed his left knee a little bit,' Thomson said. 'He came in a little bit sore today, so keep him out, see how he is tomorrow.' Alec Bohm is to meet up with the Phillies on Sunday, travel with the team to Chicago and be evaluated. Bohm broke a left rib when hit by a 92.2 mph Yu Darvish pitch at San Diego on July 12. The third baseman and first baseman returned July 18 following the All-Star break, then went on the injured list. 'Still a little bit sore,' Thomson said. Outfielder Brewer Hicklen was obtained from Detroit for cash and optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Hicklen, 29, was hitting .227 with eight homers and 31 RBIs for Triple-A Toledo. He went 2 for 3 with a walk and a stolen base for Detroit at Colorado on May 8 in his only big league appearance this year. Right-hander Ryan Cusick was designated for assignment. ___ AP MLB:
