Shaw's opposite-field homer in the bottom of the second put Milwaukee on the board. The Brewers kept it going in the fourth as Ryan Braun doubled, Shaw walked and Eric Thames bounced an RBI single to right. Eric Sogard's RBI groundout cut Miami's lead to 4-3.

In the fifth, however, Miami stretched its lead to 5-3. Starlin Castro lined a two-out single to left, advanced on a wild pitch in the dirt and scored on Brian Anderson's opposite-field single to right.

Pinch-hitter Domingo Santana gave Milwaukee a lift in the bottom of the fifth, falling behind 0-2 before drawing a leadoff walk. He advanced to second on a Lorenzo Cain single and to third on a Christian Yelich fly out. Santana scored on a Braun sacrifice fly, cutting Miami's lead to 5-4.

Milwaukee tied the score in the eighth after Shaw and Thames drew two-out walks. Sogard then hit a shallow fly to left that Dietrich dropped for an error.
