MILWAUKEE (AP) — Jesús Aguilar’s hot bat helped the injury-riddled Miami Marlins win a series against his former team.

Aguilar homered for the fifth time in six games in a 6-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday. His tiebreaking three-run shot off Eric Yardley with two outs in the fourth inning put Miami for good.

“He’s amazing,” Marlins pitcher Sandy Alcantara said.

Aguilar, who played for the Brewers from 2017-19, went 4 of 11 with two homers, four runs and five RBIs in Milwaukee this week to help the Marlins win two of three from the Brewers.

His three-run homer increased his RBIs total to an NL-leading 22.

The Marlins have needed Aguilar’s power to carry them at a time when injuries have decimated their lineup. Marlins second baseman Jazz Chisholm joined outfielder Starling Marte, catcher Jorge Alfaro and third baseman Brian Anderson on the injured list Wednesday.

Alcantara (1-2) struck out four and gave up five hits and two runs in seven innings. Kolton Wong’s two-run homer in the third accounted for all of the Brewers’ scoring.

Milwaukee called up Zack Godley from the Brewers’ alternate site to make the start in place of left-hander Brett Anderson, who went on the injured list Saturday with a strained right hamstring.

Godley (0-1) walked five, threw two wild pitches, committed a balk and hit a batter in an eventful Brewers debut. He was charged with four runs, three earned.

Brewers manager Craig Counsell said after the game that Godley, who was injured while bunting, is heading to the injured list with a bruised right index finger.

Godley was at the center of a bizarre play in the second inning.

Miami had runners at the corners with one out when Isan Diaz hit a slow roller up the first-base line. As Corey Dickerson scored from third, Godley easily threw out Diaz at first.

But Diaz was awarded first base when first-base umpire Marty Foster called Godley for obstruction on the play, a decision that brought Counsell out of the dugout to argue.

“There was no interference that ever happened,” Counsell said. “Zack never got to the dirt. He was on the grass the whole time, and, like, clearly on the grass.”

Foster told the pool reporter after the game that it was “clear-cut obstruction.”

Milwaukee bench coach Pat Murphy was ejected two innings later as the Brewers argued a ball-strike call.

The Brewers begin a four-game home series Thursday with the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Scheduled starters are 2020 NL Cy Young Award winner Trevor Bauer (3-0, 2.53) for the Dodgers and Eric Lauer (0-0, 0.00) for the Brewers.
