Gary Sánchez hit a two-out, two-run homer in the first, his third of the season, to take a 3-0 lead. He had five homers in 29 games last season.

Maikel Garcia got the Royals within one with a two-run homer of his own in the third. After reaching on a walk and stealing second, Bobby Witt Jr. nearly tied the game on a Vinnie Pasquantino single but was thrown out at home by Luis Matos to maintain the Brewers' 3-2 lead.

Blake Perkins lined a double to left to add some insurance in the fourth, and Contreras added two more with a single to left in the seventh.
