The Milwaukee Brewers look to complete a two-game interleague series sweep when they visit the red-hot Minnesota Twins on Tuesday. Orlando Arcia belted a two-run homer in the eighth inning on Monday to provide the Brewers with a 5-4 win while handing Minnesota just its second loss in 13 games.

Arcia recorded three RBIs while Lorenzo Cain and Christian Yelich drove in runs with sacrifice flies to give Milwaukee its second straight triumph following a stretch during which it lost five of seven games. Yelich, who leads the majors with 21 homers, has registered only 10 RBIs this month despite hitting seven shots – six of the solo variety. Minnesota had its six-game winning streak snapped on Monday after outscoring opponents 53-16 during the string of victories. Byron Buxton hit a three-run blast in the series opener, but Twins’ batters struck out 13 times – with Jonathan Schoop, C.J. Cron and Miguel Sano all fanning on three occasions.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers RH Zach Davies (5-0, 2.43 ERA) vs. Twins LH Martin Perez (7-1, 2.95)

Davies is coming off his worst outing of the season as he allowed six runs and six hits in three innings of a no-decision against Cincinnati. The 26-year-old gave up just nine earned runs in his first nine starts before serving up two homers in the turn against the Reds on Wednesday. Davies lost his lone career start against the Twins on Aug. 10, 2017, when he surrendered seven runs – six earned – and 11 hits in 5 2/3 innings.

Perez defeated the Los Angeles Angels in his last turn as he gave up two runs and six hits over five innings. The 28-year-old has issued four walks in each of his last two outings and registered at least seven strikeouts in four of his last five turns. Perez lost his lone career start against the Brewers on Sept. 26, 2016, when he was torched for eight runs and nine hits in 6 2/3 innings while with Texas.

WALK-OFFS

1. Twins RF Max Kepler went 2-for-4 on Monday for his sixth straight multi-hit performance and has gone 18-for-38 with four homers and 14 RBIs during his nine-game hitting streak.

2. Milwaukee LHP Josh Hader, who pitched two scoreless innings in the series opener, has converted all 13 of his save opportunities.

3. Minnesota C Mitch Garver (ankle) is expected to catch five innings for Double-A Pensacola on Wednesday and a full game two days later during a brief rehab assignment.

PREDICTION: Twins 6, Brewers 4
