Victor Caratini hit a tiebreaking home run off Michael Fulmer in the eighth inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers recovered from a blown three-run lead to beat the Chicago Cubs 6-5 Thursday and gain a split of their four-game series.
Cody Bellinger was 4 for 4 with three RBIs for the Cubs, finishing a triple shy of the cycle and raising his average to .298. His 12-game hitting streak matched his career best, set with the 2019 Los Angeles Dodgers.
Caratini, who played for the Cubs from 2017-20, connected on a 1-2 changeup that Fulmer left over the middle of the plate and drove the ball into the right-field second deck for his fifth home run this season. Mejía got his second major league win, his first since May 24, 2021, for Cleveland at Detroit.
Brewers starter Freddy Peralta allowed three runs, four hits and three walks in 5 1/3 innings. He struck out 10, matching his season high. Bellinger hit an RBI single in the second but Milwaukee took a 4-1 lead in the fifth when Joey Wiemer had an RBI single and Christian Yelich hit a three-run homer with two outs, a ball that hit the top of the yellow padding and bounced over the left-field wall.
