Brewers Lucroy slams D-Backs 7-5

PHOENIX (AP) — Jonathan Lucroy homered twice, including a grand slam in an eventful seventh inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers made it two in a row over Arizona by beating the Diamondbacks 7-5 on Tuesday night.

Lucroy's slam to center came on Brad Ziegler's first delivery after Arizona reliever Evan Marshall was ejected for hitting Ryan Braun with a pitch.

Marshall (2-2) took the loss, facing three batters without getting an out after relieving starter Mike Bolsinger, who was called up from Triple-A Reno earlier in the day.

Lucroy had a solo homer in the sixth. Aramis Ramirez also hit a solo shot for the Brewers.

Kyle Lohse (8-2), who had hit three batters all season, plunked two in his six innings, apparently leading to some retaliation by Marshall.

Lohse allowed four runs, three earned, and six hits. The Brewers trailed 4-2 when he was lifted for a pinch-hitter in a five-run seventh.
