Receiving mostly cheers, Braun singled up the middle in the first inning off Josh Johnson.

Braun received more boos before his final two at-bats and hit into a fielder's choice and struck out on three pitches. That left him hitting .571 (8 of 14) as he returns from his season-ending 65-game drug suspension.
Johnson allowed one run on two hits with a walk and three strikeouts in four innings.
Scooter Gennett had two RBI doubles for the Brewers.
