In the closest threat to the no-hitter, Lorenzo Cain preserved the gem with a diving catch in right-center field on Owen Miller's liner with two outs in the eighth.

Burnes fanned five of the first six batters he faced and became the sixth pitcher in franchise history to record 200 strikeouts in a season.

The 26-year-old threw a season-high 115 pitches and is 8-0 with a 2.21 ERA over his last 17 starts. He has not lost since May 25 and has struck out 210 batters in 152 innings this season.

Daniel Vogelbach had two hits for the Brewers (88-55), who sit 33 games over .500 for the first time in franchise history.

The Brewers jumped on Zach Plesac (10-5) for two runs in the first. Kolten Wong walked to begin the game and scored when Christian Yelich doubled with one out and reached third on an error.

Yelich then scored on Omar Narvaez's sacrifice fly to right.

Milwaukee capitalized on another Cleveland error in the second, when right fielder Bradley Zimmer bobbled Vogelbach's one-out single to right, allowing him to move to second base.

Rowdy Tellez followed with an RBI double to right-center before leaving the game at the end of the inning with right knee discomfort.

Plesac allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits over six innings. He walked two and struck out three.
