Turang’s go-ahead homer lifts Brewers over Cardinals 3-2 for 102nd win

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Brice Turang hit a go-ahead two-run homer and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 on Saturday night for their major league-leading 102nd win.

It was Milwaukee’s first game with Christian Yelich as captain. The club named him the franchise’s first captain during a team meeting before the game. Yelich was 0 for 2 in the game after entering as a pinch-hitter.

Turang connected off Quinn Mathews (2-4) in the fifth inning for his 21st home run and 99th RBIs this season. Turang had a tiebreaking two-run single in the eighth inning of an 8-4 win Friday night.

Alec Burleson had a solo homer while St. Louis built a 2-0 lead, giving the Cardinals first baseman a major league-best 116 RBIs.

Kyle Harrison (11-5) pitched two scoreless innings with four strikeouts. Aaron Ashby pitched two scoreless innings for his fourth save in seven tries.
