MILWAUKEE -- Archie Bradley had a plan and worked it perfectly.Bradley pitched seven solid innings, Yasmany Tomas had two homers and five RBI and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Milwaukee Brewers 8-1 on Wednesday night.I wanted to be more aggressive and attack the zone more than I usually do, Bradley said. Come out the gate and throw strikes. Get our defense off the field and into the batters box.Bradley (4-6) allowed one run on four hits, walked three and struck out six in his longest start since going 7 1/3 innings in a 6-3 win over the San Diego Padres on May 29.Bradley, a 23-year-old right-hander, allowed Jonathan Villars lead-off double and nothing else until Hernan Perez hit a soft liner to right with two outs in the fifth. Perezs sacrifice fly in the seventh spoiled the shutout.He was painting, Perez said. He was hitting the corners. He was mixing his pitches. (Catcher Welington) Castillo called a great game. His curveball was sharp. He threw the ball wherever he wanted.Tomas and Castillo turned in two key plays in the first to help Bradley out.Scooter Gennett followed Villar with a walk, and then Ryan Braun lined out to Tomas in right. Gennett hustled back to the bag trying to beat Tomas throw, but after a 1:55 review, the safe call was overturned. Castillo then threw out Villar trying to steal third with two outs.The first inning was out of The Twilight Zone. Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. It is not something Ive ever seen. It was just strange.Tomas supplied all the power. The Brewers season-high five errors -- three by right fielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis and two by shortstop Villar -- did the rest.After capping a five-run first inning with a three-run shot, Tomas produced his fifth multihomer game this season when he sliced an 0-2 pitch from starter Jimmy Nelson (6-9) over the wall in right for a two-run shot in the fifth that put the game out of reach.Every time he takes a swing, its dangerous, Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale said. He swings with bad intentions. He looks confident. Hes getting pitches to hit late in the count and hes using the whole field.Nelson left two batters after Tomas shot in his shortest start since going 3 2/3 innings on June 15th against San Francisco.Nelson matched his career high of eight runs for the third time. He walked two, struck out seven and slipped to 1-6 over his last 10 starts.Randall Delgado took over for Bradley and pitched two scoreless innings of relief.TEACHABLE MOMENTBefore the Diamondbacks batted in the third, Counsell took Villar out of the game. Counsell wasnt upset with his two errors in the top of the first, but rather Villar getting caught trying to steal third in the bottom half of the inning.Thats just something he has to improve on, Counsell said. He understands he made a mistake. Well just move forward from it.DIAMONDBACK SUCCESSArizona is 15-9 in its last 24 games against the Brewers.GREINKE UPDATERHP Zack Greinke (left oblique strain) is scheduled to make a rehab start for the Rookie-level AZL Diamondbacks on Friday at Salt River Fields. His pitch count is 60 pitches, up from the 40 he threw in a bullpen session at Miller Park on Tuesday. Manager Chip Hale said Greinke felt great during the bullpen.Greinke will ramp up to 80 pitches following Fridays outing, possibly with Arizona.Well see how he feels after 60, Hale said. Then, can we afford to have a guy thats only going 80, 85 pitches for us with how our bullpen looks? Eighty from Zack Greinke is pretty good.The right-hander is 10-3 with a 3.62 ERA in 17 starts and has been on the disabled list since July 3.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: CF A.J. Pollock still aims to play this season after fracturing his right elbow in an exhibition game April 1. The Diamondbacks are hoping Pollock can be cleared to play games in the next couple of weeks. As long as hes been out, youd start all the way at the bottom and then work your way up, Hale said, referring to Pollocks possible rehab assignments. Pollock fractured the same elbow in 2010 and missed the entire season.Brewers: RHP Jacob Barnes was placed on the 15-day disabled list with right elbow soreness. ... RHP Michael Blazek was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs.UP NEXTDiamondbacks: LHP Robbie Ray (5-9, 4.93 ERA) makes his first career start and appearance against the Brewers. Hes struck out five or more in 19 consecutive starts, tied with Miamis Jose Fernandez for the longest streak in the majors this season.Brewers: RHP Zach Davies (7-4, 3.64) looks for his 10th quality start facing the Diamondbacks for the first time.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Yonder Alonsos doubles are spoiling the Kansas City Royals postseason hopes.Alonso and Marcus Semien hit two-run doubles as the Oakland Athletics beat Kansas City 8-0 for the third straight game on Wednesday night to further ruin the Royals postseason chances.The 2015 World Series champion Royals are five games out in the American League wild card with 17 games left and would have to climb over five teams.I think our guys were really fired up coming into today, Royals manager Ned Yost said. There was some anger in that locker room today before the game, so I dont feel any deflation. Guys are upset that we lost those games. Theyre not pointing any fingers because they know that we win as a team and lose as a team. Theyre not happy with it.Alonsos two-run eighth inning laser pinch double Tuesday lifted the As to victory. Alonsos broken-bat double in the first scored Danny Valencia and Stephen Vogt.A totally different swing in a totally different situation, but it got the job done and thats what matters, Alonso said. In this game, sometimes youd rather by lucky than good. It worked out for me yesterday. Today was a new day and it worked out. The bat died a hero.As rookie left-hander Sean Manaea (5-9) picked up his first career road victory, retiring 13 of the final 14 batters he faced in five scoreless innings, striking out five and walking one. Manaea, who had not pitched since Aug. 29 when he left in the fourth inning with a strained left rhomboid, was removed after 67 pitches. The As acquired Manaea from the Royals in July 2015 as part of the Ben Zobrist trade.I dont think about those things, Manaea said of facing his former club. It was great seeing those guys again and doing well against them makes everything better.Yordano Ventura (10-11) threw 39 pitches, 28 after two outs, in a three-run third. Ventura retired the first two batters and then gave up five consecutive hits, two of them doubles. Semiens double scored Alonso and Ryon Healy. Bruce Maxwells single scored Semien.I was trying to be a little too fine and I was falling behind in the count, Ventura said through an interpreter.Ventura was pulled after 4 1/3 innings, giving up five runs on seven hits, four walks, a hit batter and two wild pitchess.dddddddddddd He has yielded 17 hits and nine runs in 11 1/3 innings in losing his past two starts.Khris Davis delivered a two-out two-run eighth inning single and scored on Healys single to cap off the scoring.Oakland relievers John Axford, Liam Hendriks and Chris Smith held the Royals to one single the final four innings. The As bullpen has restricted the Royals to one run and three hits over 12 1/3 innings in the first three games.Manaea did a great job of pitching, as did their whole staff, Yost said. You know, Ventura was out there competing his tail off. He just struggled to command the secondary stuff and his fastball.The Royals, who have lost seven of their past eight home games, did not have a runner reach third base.STICKING WITH SORIAWhile RHP Joakim Soria is 0-3 with three blown saves and a 9.00 ERA in seven games since August 30, Royals manager Ned Yost said he is not forsaking him. Jacks had great outings and hes had bad outings, Yost said. Yeah, hes had a rough year. The thing that is so puzzling to him is he feels good. Its just one of those things.FUENTES RELEASEDThe Royals asked for unconditional release waivers on Rey Fuentes, who was their opening day starting right fielder after hitting .386 in spring training. Fuentes hit .317 in 13 games and 44 plate-appearances with Kansas City. He spent most of the season with Triple-A Omaha, where he hit .254 and swiped 17 bases in 22 attempts.TRAINERS ROOMAthletics: RHP Sonny Gray (strained forearm) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session and could appear in a game before the season ends. The look on his face and the intensity in which he threw suggests that he wants to pitch, As manager Bob Melvin said. Obviously, well be careful and make sure that every step along the way hes healthy, but theres a good chance, at this point, well get him in a game or two. . RHP J.B. Wendelken (forearm tightness) was unavailable.UP NEXTAthletics: RHP Daniel Mengden, who is 0-2 with a 10.57 ERA in two September starts, faces the Royals for the first time.Royals: RHP Edinson Volquez, who has won his past three decisions against the As, starts the series finale.
