Milwaukee Brewers at Detroit Tigers

Brice Turang, David Hamilton help power the Brewers to 12-4 rout of Tigers

Despite missing their top three hitters, the Brewers put 19 runners on base and scored in double digits for the second time this season. They have won five of six.

All nine Milwaukee starters reached base at least once, and Detroit catcher/knuckleballer Jake Rogers limited the damage by pitching a scoreless ninth inning.

Detroit lost its second straight after winning eight of nine.

Milwaukee used speed and small ball to take a 3-0 lead in the second inning. Garrett Mitchell led off with an infield single, took second on a walk and scored on Sal Frelick's base hit. Hamilton beat out a bunt to load the bases.

After Blake Perkins struck out, Turang lined a two-run single to right. Turang, though, got caught in a rundown between first and second and the Tigers threw Hamilton out at the plate when he tried to score.

Detroit loaded the bases with no one out in the fourth, but Grant Anderson relieved Harrison and got Javier Báez to ground into a double play. That made it 3-1, but Anderson struck out pinch-hitter Kerry Carpenter to end the inning.

The Brewers made it 5-1 in the seventh on RBI singles by Turang and William Contreras.

Milwaukee added seven runs in an 11-batter eighth, an inning that included the fourth triple of Gary Sanchez's 12-year MLB career.

Detroit scored three times in the ninth inning to cut the final margin to eight runs.
