Already assured of their fourth straight NL Central title and eighth playoff berth in nine season, the big league-best Brewers (97-58) matched the wins total of last year’s team that finished 97-65.

Baltimore (75-80) fell four games behind the Chicago White Sox for the AL’s last wild card with seven to play.

Robert Gasser (5-5) allowed three hits over seven innings, Abner Uribe worked around a leadoff single in the eighth, and Aaron Ashby pitched a perfect ninth for his third save, finishing the Brewers’ 11th shutout this season and first 1-0 win.

Hinds lost Joey Ortiz’s fly ball in the sun in the second inning and tumbled to the ground, and Gary Sánchez hit into a run-scoring groundout.

Trevor Rogers (10-11) struck out 10, walked one and allowed three hits in a season-high eight innings.
