The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Florida Marlins 5-2 on Saturday, powered by a strong pitching performance from Brandon Woodruff and an offensive outburst from Brice Turang, who hit a 2-run home run in the fifth inning.

Why it matters

The Brewers are looking to bounce back after a slow start to the season and this win against the Marlins keeps them in contention in the NL Central division race. Woodruff's outing was a much-needed boost for the starting rotation, while Turang's breakout game could be a sign of things to come for the young infielder.

The details

Woodruff went 7 innings, allowing just 1 run on 3 hits and 1 walk while striking out 7 batters to earn the win. Turang went 2-for-3 at the plate, including a 2-run home run in the 5th inning that gave the Brewers a lead they would not relinquish.
