D-backs' potent offense held to 1 run in loss to Brewers

PHOENIX -- To secure a postseason berth, the D-backs will need to get through the Brewers, their opponent in seven of their final 16 games, and the first of those matchups did not go well for Arizona.

Rhys Hoskins hit a two-run homer and Freddy Peralta and four relievers combined to mostly shut down the potent D-backs' offense as the Brewers won, 2-1, on Friday night at Chase Field.

The loss dropped the D-backs into the second NL Wild Card spot.

The D-backs grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first when Corbin Carroll led off with a walk and eventually came around to score on a sacrifice fly by Pavin Smith.

Left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez mostly held the Milwaukee bats in check until the fourth when Hoskins hit a two-out, two-run homer off him.
