Rhys Hoskins homered in the second for the Brewers. After that, Schwellenbach retired 13 straight batters before Brice Turang's single in the sixth. Eric Haase added a two-out RBI double in the eighth, but manager Brian Snitker stuck with Schwellenbach, who got Turang to fly out and then worked a perfect ninth.
Milwaukee's Christian Yelich missed his second consecutive game with a swollen right wrist. He was by a pitch at Philadelphia on June 1 and aggravated the injury on a slide over the weekend.
