Watch: Brewers deliver more late-game magic against Red Sox

In their road game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday, the Boston Red Sox blew it in extra innings again. 

In the bottom of the 10th inning, with Boston leading 5-4, it gave up two runs. With two men on base, Brewers left fielder Isaac Collins grounded into a fielder's choice at second but drove in right fielder Daz Cameron. 

On the following at-bat, Brewers third baseman Caleb Durbin hit a sacrifice fly to center field, driving in right fielder Sal Frelick and securing a 6-5 win for Milwaukee.

On Tuesday night against the Red Sox, Brewers left fielder Christian Yelich belted a walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the 10th inning, sealing a 5-1 win for Milwaukee. 

Wednesday's win marks the first time the Brewers have had consecutive walk-off victories in 13 years.  

The Brewers are now 29-28 and have their first sweep of the season following their series against Boston. 

The Red Sox, meanwhile, are 27-31 and have lost five straight games. Attribute the skid to their shaky bullpen. Entering Wednesday's game against Milwaukee, Boston had 12 saves, tied for the sixth fewest in baseball.

In Boston's loss to Milwaukee on Tuesday, relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman blew a save opportunity in the bottom of the ninth inning. 

The Red Sox better solve their pitching woes, or they could keep handing teams close wins.
