Brice Turang hit a two-run homer and extended his on-base streak to 18 games as the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Miami Marlins 5-2 on Saturday. The Brewers also got doubles from William Contreras and Luis Rengifo, as well as an RBI single from Brandon Lockridge. Brewers starter Brandon Woodruff pitched seven strong innings, allowing just one run on three hits with four strikeouts.

Why it matters

The win extends the Brewers' winning streak to four games after a recent six-game skid, keeping them in contention in the NL Central. Turang's hot start and on-base streak are also an encouraging sign for the Brewers' offense. Meanwhile, the Marlins have now lost four straight games, though they are expected to get a boost with the season debut of star outfielder Kyle Stowers on Sunday.

The details

In the fifth inning, the game was tied 1-1 when Turang hit a two-run homer 402 feet to center field off Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara. The Brewers then added two more runs in the sixth inning against reliever Anthony Bender, with Garrett Mitchell scoring on a fielder's choice and Turang adding an RBI single. Marlins pitchers issued 11 walks in the game.
