MILWAUKEE — At this point in the season, any win is a well-timed one for the Milwaukee Brewers. Ryan Braun and Adam Lind hit two-run homers in the eighth inning and the Brewers beat the Minnesota Twins 5-3 on Sunday. "We've gotten to a point where we need to get back to wanting to win, to feeling like we're going to win, to showing up and feeling like we've got a legitimate chance to win," Braun said. The Brewers weathered a Twins rally in the ninth inning and won the three-game series. Down 5-1, Torii Hunter, who homered twice Saturday, hit a two-run homer off Francisco Rodriguez. Brian Dozier, who had hit safely in all nine previous career games at Miller Park, took a called third strike to end the game. It was tied at 1 when Jonathan Lucroy opened the Milwaukee eighth with a walk from reliever Casey Fien (2-3). Braun followed with his 15th home run. "There's strikes and then there's quality strikes and I didn't throw enough quality strikes," Fien said. Carlos Gomez then singled, stole second and scored on Lind's 11th homer. Brauny and then Gomey and Adam, they had some really good at-bats after me. ". Lucroy agreed with Braun that the team needs to find its winning edge. Source: host.madison.com
