Anonymous
The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Los Angeles Angels 6-2 on the strength of a five-run fifth inning, powered by back-to-back home runs from Brice Turang and Jake Bauers, according to Winnipeg Free Press.
The win pushes Milwaukee to nine victories in their last 13 games. Starter Shane Drohan turned in another strong outing, allowing just two runs on four hits over six innings while striking out seven.
Turang and Bauers Erupt in Five-Run Fifth Inning
The Brewers broke the game open in the fifth inning. Brice Turang and Jake Bauers both went deep, sparking a five-run burst that put the game out of reach, Leader Telegram reported. It was the decisive moment in an otherwise tight contest.
Angels starter Ryan Johnson could not survive the inning. He gave up five runs and six hits in four and one-third innings of work. Milwaukee took full advantage of his struggles and never looked back.
Drohan Delivers Fifth Straight Six-Inning Start
Shane Drohan has been quietly consistent for Milwaukee. According to KDH News, this was his fifth straight start where he pitched at least six innings. That kind of reliability is rare for a young starter.
On the night, Drohan allowed two runs on four hits, walked one batter, and struck out seven. His ability to eat innings and limit damage gives the Brewers' bullpen much-needed rest. A quality start is defined as six or more innings with three or fewer earned runs.
Brewers Building Momentum With Nine Wins in 13 Games
Milwaukee is playing winning baseball right now. The Brewers have gone 9-4 over their last 13 games, according to Post Register. Victories like this one — built on solid pitching and timely power hitting — show why they have been hard to beat lately.
The Angels, meanwhile, continue to struggle. Los Angeles managed just two runs and could not generate enough offense to challenge the Brewers' lead after the fifth inning. The loss adds to a tough stretch for an Angels team searching for consistency.
Angels' Johnson Unable to Contain Milwaukee Offense
Ryan Johnson's night unraveled quickly in the fifth. He entered the inning having already allowed one run, but the Turang and Bauers home runs blew the game open, according to BDT Online. Johnson finished having surrendered five runs on six hits in just over four innings.
The Angels had little answer for Drohan on the other side. Milwaukee's pitching staff held Los Angeles to two runs for the full nine innings. The Brewers' combination of strong starting pitching and a productive lineup made for a complete and convincing performance.
