MILWAUKEE — On Tuesday night Vladimir Guerrero Jr. doubled home the go-ahead run in the 10th inning as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Milwaukee Brewers 9-7, handing Milwaukee its sixth consecutive loss; on Wednesday and Thursday the Brewers responded with 2-1 wins, the first via a William Contreras eighth-inning rally and the second by executing three bunts for a go-ahead run. Abner Uribe recorded a save Wednesday after Milwaukee’s two-run eighth-inning rally, and Aaron Ashby earned the win Thursday, reaching 5-0 and taking a major-league lead in victories; the sequence of games across Tuesday to Thursday included bullpen decisions, defensive miscues, timely infield plays and small-ball execution that directly shaped outcomes this week.
