Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Kevin Frandsen's error opened the door and the Milwaukee Brewers took advantage with a fortuitous bounce on Corey Hart's go-ahead grand slam in eighth inning in a 7-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.

Cliff Lee tied a season-high with 12 strikeouts, and with the Phillies ahead 4-3, was in line for his third win of the season, but Frandsen's low throw from third base skipped past first baseman Ryan Howard. That allowed Rickie Weeks to reach base with two outs, and set the wheels in motion for a Brewers comeback.

Josh Lindblom (2-3) relieved Lee and intentionally walked Ryan Braun, who hit a pair of solo homers earlier in the game. Aramis Ramirez walked before Hart sent a fly ball to right field.

Domonic Brown, who made a leaping catch against the side wall in foul territory one inning prior, saw the ball carom off the top of the wall and then off the back part of his glove and over the fence.

The Phillies loaded the bases against Manny Parra and Jim Henderson in the final inning. Erik Kratz grounded out to end the game with Henderson securing his third save of the year.
