Turang, Bauers hit home runs to back Drohan’s quality start in Brewers’ 6-2 win over Angels

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) —

Brice Turang and Jake Bauers powered a five-run fifth inning with home runs, Shane Drohan struck out seven in six innings, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-2 on Friday night.

Drohan (6-4) allowed two runs on four hits and walked one while delivering his fifth straight start of six innings or more for the NL Central-leading Brewers, who have won nine of 13 games.

Milwaukee reliever Grant Anderson threw a one-two-three seventh and got the first out of the eighth, Abner Uribe retired two batters in the eighth, and closer Trevor Megill retired the side in order with a strikeout in the ninth.

Starter Ryan Johnson (2-6) gave up five runs and six hits in 4 1/3 innings for the Angels, who have lost four straight, seven of eight and 19 of 24.

Milwaukee took a 1-0 lead in the second when Bauers and Garrett Mitchell singled and No. 9 batter Cooper Pratt dunked a two-out RBI single to shallow left.
