MILWAUKEE (AP) — Brice Turang ended an 0-for-21 slump by going 2 for 2 with a double and triple in the Milwaukee Brewers’ 16-2 blowout of the San Francisco Giants on Monday night.
Turang also had a pair of walks to reach on all four of his plate appearances. He doubled in the first inning and hit a two-run triple off the center-field wall in the second.
Milwaukee’s 16 runs and 18 hits were season highs, though the Brewers had no homers. The Brewers walked 11 times to match a season high.
Christian Yelich and David Hamilton each went 3 for 5 with three runs for the Brewers. Luis Rengifo also scored three runs, and Yelich had two RBIs. Jackson Chourio was 2 for 4 with three RBIs.
The Brewers have won six of seven. The Giants have lost six of seven.

Buddy Kennedy, an infielder called up to the majors earlier in the day, pitched the eighth inning for the Giants.
Milwaukee erased a 2-0 deficit by scoring seven runs off Landen Roupp (5-6) in the second inning. Matt Chapman had given San Francisco the early lead with a two-run blast for his first homer since March 31.
Six straight Brewers reached base during that seven-run outburst.
Sal Frelick doubled home Jake Bauers. Rengifo singled home Frelick, then Hamilton beat out a bunt hit. Roupp walked Yelich to load the bases before Chourio doubled home two runs.
Turang tripled home two more runs before scoring Milwaukee’s final run of the inning on a William Contreras sacrifice fly.
The seven-run rally occurred while a giant version of the Pablo Sanchez character from the Backyard Baseball sat in the front row, next to the Brewers dugout. The Brewers are giving out a Pablo Sanchez bobblehead as part of a Backyard Baseball promotion Wednesday.
Roupp allowed a career-high eight runs over four innings. His five walks matched a career high.
Chad Patrick (3-2) earned the win by pitching one scoreless inning in relief of Shane Drohan, who allowed two runs over four innings.

Detroit 10
Tampa Bay 9
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Dillon Dingler hit two of Detroit’s season-high five homers, Riley Greene was a triple shy of the cycle and the Tigers stopped a four-game skid by holding off the Tampa Bay Rays 10-9 on Monday night.
Dingler had four hits and drove in four runs. Kerry Carpenter also went deep and finished with three hits and two RBIs. Greene was 3 for 4 with a walk and three RBIs.
That trio combined to hit three consecutive homers in the third inning. The previous time Detroit launched three straight home runs was Aug. 8, 2020, when Miguel Cabrera, C.J. Cron and Jeimer Candelario connected at Pittsburgh.
Hao-Yu Lee also homered for the Tigers (23-38), who avoided falling 17 games under .500. The most games under .500 for a team rebounding to make the playoffs was 16 by the 1914 Boston Braves, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Detroit opened a 6-0 cushion in the third but Ryan Vilade’s three-run homer shaved it to 8-5 in the sixth. Carpenter’s two-run double with two outs in the eighth provided critical insurance when the Rays batted around in the bottom half and scored four times to make it 10-9.
Tyler Holton (1-4) won in relief and Will Vest got five outs for his first save this season.
Yandy Díaz had three hits and Junior Caminero also homered for the Rays, who entered the day with the best home record in the majors.
Greene got the Tigers on the board with a two-run double off Griffin Jax (1-4) in the first.
Dingler homered to center field against Trevor Martin leading off the fifth to extend Detroit’s lead to 7-2.
In the fourth, Rays outfielder Chandler Simpson exited under his own power after a headfirst slide into second base. He appeared to injure his face when his helmet was jarred loose. Vilade entered as a pinch runner.
Tampa Bay shortstop Taylor Walls was removed in the second with left hamstring tightness.
