MILWAUKEE -- An error on the first batter of the game leading to three unearned runs. A double play that no one saw coming, prompting a debate about what constitutes blocking home plate. An infield hit overturned by the length of a spike. A baserunning blunder. A late-inning lead, lost.

And for all of those frustrations -- a Brewers win.

Jackson Chourio reached safely three times including the seventh-inning single that slipped under Mookie Betts’ glove in right field for the go-ahead run in the Brewers’ 5-4 win over the Dodgers at American Family Field. It might have been the Brewers’ most unlikely victory of the season considering the circumstances they endured along the way, but it was a victory nonetheless, preserving Milwaukee’s status as the only team in the Majors yet to lose four games in a row.

Their allergy to extended losing streaks helps to explain how, despite a recent funk, the Brewers find themselves with their biggest lead all season in the National League Central standings: 8 1/2 games ahead of the second-place Reds and Cardinals.
