DENVER (Interstat) — Jacob Misiorowski pitched seven shutout innings and Brice Turang homered twice as the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Colorado Rockies 7-1 on Saturday at Coors Field.

Milwaukee improved to 39-23, while Colorado dropped to 24-41.

Misiorowski allowed four hits, struck out eight and walked none in his third consecutive start of at least seven innings with no earned runs. The right-hander, who improved to 7-2, also threw seven scoreless innings in a 2-0 win at Houston on May 31 and allowed one earned run over seven innings in a 5-1 win against St. Louis on May 25.

Misiorowski retired the first seven batters he faced. He did not allow a baserunner until Troy Johnston singled with one out in the second inning, but Ezequiel Tovar grounded into a double play to end the inning. Misiorowski faced only one batter over the minimum through four innings.

The Brewers’ offense backed Misiorowski with a steady stream of runs, scoring at least one in four different innings.

Milwaukee took a 1-0 lead in the first when Turang drove a 2-0 pitch from Colorado starter Zach Agnos over the center-field wall for his eighth home run. Turang’s solo shot came after Agnos had retired the first two batters on a lineout and a groundout.

The Brewers doubled their lead in the second when David Hamilton led off with a home run to center field, his third of the season.

Colorado scratched across its only run in the fifth against Misiorowski. Edouard Julien reached on a throwing error by shortstop Joey Ortiz, advanced to second and scored on a double to right by Kyle Karros. That cut Milwaukee’s lead to 2-1.

The Brewers broke the game open with a three-run seventh inning. William Contreras led off with a home run to left-center, his fifth. Jake Bauers walked, and Andrew Vaughn followed with a single. After a pitching change, Sal Frelick reached on a fielding error by first baseman TJ Rumfield, allowing two runs to score. Joey Ortiz singled, but the Brewers could not add more as David Hamilton and Christian Yelich struck out.

In the eighth, Turang hit his second home run of the game, a solo shot to left for his ninth. Bauers made it back-to-back homers, hitting his 11th to left.

Bauers, who entered the game as a defensive replacement in left field in the seventh, finished 1-for-1 with a walk and two runs scored. Hamilton had four hits in five at-bats, including his home run and three singles. Contreras was 2-for-5 with a home run and an RBI. Turang drove in two runs on his two homers.

Milwaukee finished with 13 hits. Colorado had five.

Agnos, making his major league debut, was charged with the loss. He allowed two runs on two hits over two innings, walking two and striking out one. Agnos fell to 0-1.

The Rockies used five relievers. Blas Castaño pitched 2 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing three hits and striking out two. Juan Mejia struck out one in a scoreless inning.

Milwaukee’s bullpen completed the game with two scoreless innings. Grant Anderson struck out one in a perfect eighth. Drew Rom allowed one hit and struck out two in the ninth.

The game turned in the pivotal seventh inning. After Misiorowski worked a 1-2-3 bottom of the sixth, Contreras’ leadoff home run in the seventh gave Milwaukee a 3-1 lead. The Brewers then capitalized on Colorado’s defensive miscue. With two on and one out, Rumfield’s error on a ground ball by Frelick allowed Bauers and pinch-runner Blake Perkins to score, stretching the lead to 5-1.

Colorado had a chance to rally in the bottom of the seventh. Karros walked, Brett Sullivan singled and Karros advanced to third with one out, but Misiorowski struck out Jake McCarthy and Sterlin Thompson to end the threat.

Hamilton’s four-hit game was the most productive by a Brewers hitter. Yelich and Contreras each had two hits. The Brewers’ lineup produced multiple extra-base hits for the second consecutive game after a 9-7, 10-inning win Friday.

Kyle Karros had two hits, including his 10th and 11th doubles, and drove in Colorado’s only run. Troy Johnston, Brett Sullivan and Jake McCarthy each had one hit.

The game lasted 2 hours, 59 minutes before a crowd of 30,320.

Milwaukee and Colorado play the final game of their series Sunday. The Brewers then travel to face the Athletics for a three-game series starting Monday. The Rockies return home to host the Chicago Cubs for a three-game series beginning Tuesday.
