Brice Turang slugged a go-ahead, two-run homer, and Brandon Woodruff pitched seven brilliant innings as the Brewers beat the host Miami Marlins 5-2 on Saturday afternoon.
Abner Uribe inherited a bases-loaded, one-out mess in the ninth. However, he got both batters he faced on only four pitches to record his second save.
Turang went 2-for-3 with three RBIs for Milwaukee, which won its season-high fourth consecutive game.
Woodruff (2-0) allowed just three hits -- all singles -- one walk and one run, lowering his ERA to 3.42. He fanned four Marlins.
Miami has lost four straight and seven of their past eight games.
Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara (2-2) took the loss, allowing five hits and three runs in five innings. He walked a career-high six batters and struck out just one, a career low in a start of at least five innings for the nine-year veteran.
Miami opened the scoring in the second inning as Liam Hicks singled, advanced on a groundout and scored on Connor Norby's base knock to center.
Milwaukee loaded the bases with one out in the third on three walks, but Alcantara got the slow-footed Gary Sanchez to bounce into a double play.
The Brewers tied the score in the fourth as Luis Rengifo walked and scored on Brandon Lockridge's two-out single.
Milwaukee grabbed a 3-1 lead in the fifth as William Contreras grounded a hustle double past two middle infielders and scored on Turang's 402-foot homer to center. He hit a first-pitch slider for his fourth long ball of the year.
The Brewers extended their lead to 5-1 in the sixth. Garrett Mitchell started the rally with a walk. He stole second, advanced on a wild pitch and scored on an RBI groundout by Sal Frelick. Mitchell was initially called out, but the Brewers won a challenge.
Turang then hit an RBI single to score Joey Ortiz, who had also walked.
Miami threatened in the eighth on a pair of two-out singles by Jakob Marsee and Xavier Edwards. But reliever Jake Woodford got Agustin Ramirez on a groundout, ending the inning.
In the ninth, the Marlins loaded the bases with one out, banging three singles against Woodford. Uribe got Heiberto Hernandez to ground to third base, plating Otto Lopez, then retired Javier Sanoja on a grounder to second.
Hicks and Norby had two hits apiece for Miami.
