The Milwaukee Brewers moved level with the Chicago Cubs in the MLB's wild-card race after beating the San Diego Padres 3-1.

Tuesday's win against the Padres means the Brewers and Cubs both have 82-69 records and are tied for the second National League wild-card spot.

The Brewers and Cubs are level after Chicago lost 4-2 to the Cincinnati Reds.

Milwaukee and San Diego combined to tally eight hits in Tuesday's game as each team totalled four apiece.

The difference was that two of Milwaukee's hits were home runs from Lorenzo Cain and Mike Moustakas.

San Diego, on the other hand, had their only run driven in by a Hunter Renfroe home run in the seventh inning.

The Padres also had a strong showing from Chris Paddack, who struck out nine batters in five innings of work.

The Brewers have now won four straight games despite losing star Christian Yelich to a season-ending knee injury earlier this month.

Patrick Corbin struck out 11 batters in the Washington Nationals' 6-2 win against the St Louis Cardinals.

Jordan Luplow went two for three and tallied two RBIs as the Cleveland Indians topped the Detroit Tigers 7-2.

Marco Gonzales pitched seven scoreless innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates to help the Seattle Mariners claim a 6-0 victory.
