PHILADELPHIA -- Christian Yelich hit two homers and drove in four runs, and Milwaukee limited National League-leading Philadelphia to four hits as the Brewers beat the Phillies 6-2 on Friday night for their fifth straight win.
Caleb Durbin takes his turn as hero in Brewers' latest walk-off win in extra innings
Yelich hit a three-run homer on the first pitch from Philadelphia reliever Tanner Banks in the fifth inning to break open a close game.
He hit his 12th of the season, a solo shot, into the second deck at Citizens Bank Park off righty Carlos Hernandez to lead off the ninth. It was Yelich's 12th career multi-homer game and the second of the season.
Yelich's shot off Banks was his first off a lefty this season. Before the at-bat he was hitting .147 against left-handers.
