With one on and one out, Mullins hit a drive to right field off Griffin Jax (1-2) for his fifth homer of the year.

BREWERS 1, PADRES 0 » Blake Perkins hit a single in the eighth to crack a scoreless game and lead Milwaukee over visiting San Diego.

King didn't allow a runner past first base until the eighth inning, when Brice Turang stole second after hitting a single. King was charged with a run when Turang scored on Perkins' single off Wandy Peralta.
King went 7 2/3 innings, struck out 10 and walked two.
The Brewers snapped a three-game losing streak and ended the Padres' three-game winning streak.
