MILWAUKEE (AP) --- Luis Rengifo drove in three runs, Kyle Harrison recorded
seven strikeouts in five scoreless innings and the Milwaukee Brewers defeated
the San Diego Padres 7-1 on Thursday.
The victory capped a 5-1 homestand for the Brewers, who swept the New York
Yankees before winning two of three from San Diego.
Harrison (4-1) allowed five hits and no walks to improve his ERA to 2.09.
The Brewers scored three runs in each of the first two innings against Griffin
Canning (0-2), who couldn't make it out of the second.
After starting his day with a strikeout of Jackson Chourio, Canning walked four
straight batters. Andrew Vaughn drove in Milwaukee's first run by taking a 3-2
pitch outside.
Rengifo then connected on a 3-2 offering and hit a two-run single to right.
In the second inning, Brice Turang and Gary Snchez hit RBI doubles before
Vaughn singled home Snchez.
Canning has yielded 12 runs over six innings in his last two starts. He has
given up all those runs without allowing a homer in either start.
The Brewers extended the lead to 7-0 in the fourth as Vaughn doubled and scored
on a Rengifo single.
San Diego's Nick Castellanos, who went 2 for 4, scored an unearned run in the
ninth inning to prevent the shutout.
Milwaukee's Christian Yelich was out of the starting lineup for a second
straight game and has played just once since getting activated from the injured
list Tuesday.
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Wednesday that Yelich was dealing with back
soreness. Yelich had missed about a month with an adductor strain.
Up next
Padres: Play a three-game series at Seattle. Friday's scheduled starting
pitchers are Randy Vsquez (4-1, 3.05 ERA) for the Padres and Emerson Hancock
(3-1, 3.21) for the Mariners.
Brewers: Head to Minnesota for a three-game series. The Brewers haven't named a
starting pitcher for Friday's series opener. Joe Ryan (2-3, 3.43) will pitch
for the Twins.
