The four-game winning streak to start out the 2024 campaign came to an end for the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday afternoon as they lost to the Minnesota Twins 7-3 at American Family Field.

The Brewers jumped out to a 3-1 lead early, as Rhys Hoskins hit his second home run of the season in the fourth inning.  

Minnesota rallied to score five runs in the seventh inning as the Brewers bullpen failed for the first time this year.

Joe Ross started for Milwaukee and pitched 3.2 innings of shutout ball but was wild in walking five Twin batters.

After Hobey Milner allowed one run in the fifth inning, setup man Joel Payamps (0-1) could only manage to get one out in the seventh inning as he allowed four runs on four hits, in taking the loss.

Sal Frelick collected two hits for the Brewers who fell to 4-1 for the season.

Minnesota was led by Alex Kirilloff who went four for four and scored two runs.  Ryan Jeffers knocked in four runs, hitting a three-run blast in the decisive top of the seventh inning for the Twins.

Milwaukee has an off day on Thursday before welcoming the Seattle Mariners to American Family Field for a three-game weekend series.
