Turang hits 2-run homer and stretches on-base streak to 18 games as Brewers beat Marlins 5-2

MIAMI (AP) — Brice Turang hit a two-run homer and stretched his on-base streak to 18 games as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Miami Marlins 5-2 on Saturday.

William Contreras and Luis Rengifo doubled and Brandon Lockridge added an RBI single for the Brewers, who have won four straight after a six-game losing streak.

Brandon Woodruff (2-0) pitched a season-high seven innings in his fourth start, allowing one run on three hits with four strikeouts to move to 5-0 in seven career starts against the Marlins.

Milwaukee led 5-1 when reliever Jake Woodford loaded the bases in the ninth after allowing three consecutive one-out singles. Otto Lopez then scored on Heriberto Hernández’s fielder’s choice against Abner Uribe, who got Javier Sanoja to ground out for his second save.

Miami lost its fourth straight game, but should get a boost Sunday with the expected season debut of all-star outfielder Kyle Stowers, who has been on the injured list with a hamstring strain
