Schoop’s slam in tense 6th frame fuels sweep

Jonathan Schoop’s two-out grand slam off Madison Bumgarner sent Milwaukee to a 6-3 win and a three-game sweep of the Giants at Miller Park. The Brewers pulled within two games of the NL Central-leading Cubs and remained comfortably in the top spot in the NL Wild Card standings. Bumgarner had retired 15 straight batters when he hit Ryan Braun on the left shoulder, prompting words between the two while Milwaukee’s dugout emptied. Before play resumed, Brewers manager Craig Counsell was ejected by plate umpire Tom Hallion, who then tossed left-hander Wade Miley and emergency catcher Jacob Nottingham from the bench.
