The Milwaukee Brewers are officially back on track, and Brice Turang is leading the charge. On Saturday, the young infielder blasted a two-run homer and extended his impressive on-base streak to 18 games, powering the Brewers to a 5-2 victory over the Miami Marlins for their fourth consecutive win.
Turang's decisive moment came in the fifth inning against Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara. With the game tied 1-1, Turang jumped on the first pitch—a cutter—and sent it 402 feet to center field. This clutch hit is part of a scorching start for Turang, who is now batting .281 with three homers and 11 RBIs, establishing himself as a key sparkplug in the Brewers' lineup.
Milwaukee's offense provided plenty of support beyond Turang's blast. William Contreras and Luis Rengifo each smacked doubles, while Brandon Lockridge chipped in with an RBI single. This balanced attack helped the team decisively snap their recent six-game skid and build positive momentum.
On the mound, Brandon Woodruff delivered a masterful performance, anchoring the win with a season-high seven strong innings. The right-hander allowed just one run on three hits, striking out four and improving his career record against the Marlins to a perfect 5-0. His command set the tone, allowing the bullpen to navigate a minor ninth-inning scare to secure the win.
For the Marlins, the loss marks their fourth in a row, though hope arrives Sunday with the expected season debut of All-Star outfielder Kyle Stowers. Meanwhile, the Brewers will look to secure the series sweep behind their promising pitching as they continue their push in the NL Central.
