MILWAUKEE - Aaron Hicks homered, doubled and scored the winning run in the 14th inning. It was a defensive play in the second that he was happiest about. Pinch-hitter Eduardo Escobar hit a sacrifice fly with one out in the 14th inning to score Hicks on Tuesday night, lifting the Minnesota Twins to a 6-5 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers, who got six hits from Jean Segura. Hicks made a leaping grab at the centre field wall to rob Carlos Gomez of a home run in the second. Gomez watched in disbelief and then tipped his cap to Hicks. "I really like that catch," Hicks said. "I was kind of in the corner. It definitely was a tough catch. I didnt even know where I was. It was kind of one of those catches where you have to focus on the ball the whole time you are running. You have to go hard all the way." Segura went 6 for 7 — all singles — to raise his batting average to an NL-leading .365 but Milwaukee lost for the fourth straight time and 20th in 25 games. "Oh my, goodness gracious, he hits about everything you throw up there," Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire said. "The guys got one of the shortest, compact swings youve ever seen in your life and he seems to be on everything." It was only the third time a Brewers player had six hits in a game, tying the team record set by Johnny Briggs in 1973 and Kevin Reimer in 1993. Ryan Doumit, Josh Willingham and Hicks homered for the Twins, which have won three of four after dropping 10 straight. Hicks hit the first pitch from reliever Burke Badenhop (0-2) for a ground-rule double to lead off the 14th. Pedro Florimon, who made a baserunning blunder to get thrown out at third in the 12th, executed a sacrifice bunt to move Hicks to third. Escobar then hit a 1-0 pitch to deep left, and Hicks scored with a slide that was a couple seconds ahead of the throw from Ryan Braun to give the Twins the lead. Despite sitting for nearly 4 1/2 hours, Escobar said he stayed ready by hitting in a batting cage near the dugout. "Its my opportunity right there," Escobar said. "Its my chance. I got a good swing." The loss was another in a series of deflating games for Milwaukee. "Its a tough loss," manager Ron Roenicke said. "Any time you go that many innings and lose its tough. We played well, came back to tie it in the ninth but couldnt put together any offence after that." Ryan Pressly (2-0) pitched two perfect innings of relief to earn the victory. Brian Duensing worked the bottom of the 14th for his first save in two chances. After Minnesota blew a 4-0 lead, Justin Morneau had a sacrifice fly in the eighth to give the Twins a 5-4 lead. Milwaukee tied it at 5 in the bottom of the ninth on Seguras fifth single of the game, scoring Jeff Bianchi from second as Twins closer Glen Perkins blew his second save. All three Twins homers were off Milwaukee starter Alfredo Figaro and the Twins opened a 4-0 lead in the fourth. Milwaukee scored three runs in the fourth and one in the fifth off Minnesota starter Scott Diamond to tie the score 4-all. Figaro allowed four runs on four hits and a walk while striking out four in five innings. Doumit hit a two-run homer in the second, and Willingham hit a solo shot in the fourth. Three batters later, Hicks hit his fourth homer to make it 4-0. Diamond gave up four runs on eight hits with two strikeouts over 4 2-3 innings. The Brewers cut it to 4-3 in the bottom of the fourth on a two-run double by Ramirez and a double by Jonathan Lucroy. Milwaukee tied it in the fifth on a two-out single by Segura and a triple off the right field wall by Braun. Braun went 2 for 5 after missing Mondays game to rest a sore thumb.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Jimmie Johnson described a less-than-ideal working relationship between Hendrick Motorsports and Stewart-Haas Racing on Friday, prompting his team general manager to clarify how the teams shared information.Stewart-Haas has gotten its Chevrolet engines and chassis from Hendrick Motorsports since it began in 2009, but that relationship is poised to end. Stewart-Haas announced this year it would be switching to Roush Yates Engines, which power Ford teams, for next season.Johnson was asked before practice for Sundays Sprint Cup race at Kansas whether he would like his team to find another partner to replace Stewart-Haas racing next season.Just to be selfishly speaking, Johnson said, we didnt get their data. We didnt share their data. They had ours. So it was a fantastic situation for them. They had our best stuff and then they have a huge engineering staff and they can take Hendricks best equipment and refine it.That counts as inflammatory stuff in the closely knit NASCAR garage.It also prompted Hendrick Motorsports general manager Doug Duchardt to climb out of Johnsons hauler a few hours later and clarify the relationship. The teams did share information with each other before Stewart-Haas announced its decision to leave, at which point communication was largely cut off.That is the way it worked from the time I have bbeen at Hendrick Motorsports, Duchardt said.dddddddddddd We received information from Stewart-Haas when we worked with them. When they made their announcement with Ford that changed things. But the bottom line is that as partners we exchanged data.Hendrick Motorsports is also providing Stewart-Haas with equipment through the end of the season, and that means supporting Chase contenders Kurt Busch and Kevin Harvick.Anything that Stewart-Haas has asked us to build for them this year, we have built, Duchardt said, and we have built it to their specifications.Johnson won the opening race in the round of 12 of the Chase last weekend at Charlotte, putting Busch, Harvick and the other drivers under pressure at Kansas. The unpredictable Talladega looms before the field of contenders is pared to eight.As for a relationship with another team, Johnson remains unconvinced that it is beneficial.We would always like to have some people running our engines and trying to do durability stuff on new motors that are coming out. I would imagine having a couple of cars out there we will always have that, Johnson said, but a team at that high of caliber again? I believe we would look really hard before we made that decision again. ' ' '
