Jake Bauers went 2-for-3 with two RBIs and Brice Turang was 2-for-4 while shining defensively to help the host Milwaukee Brewers avoid a three-game sweep with a 6-2 win against the Miami Marlins on Sunday.
Brewers starting pitcher Tobias Myers allowed one run on three hits and one walk while striking out five in four innings. Reliever Jakob Junis (4-0) threw two scoreless innings to remain unbeaten.
Xavier Edwards hit for the cycle, the second in Miami franchise history, and scored both of the Marlins' runs.
The Marlins jumped out to an early lead for the third straight game. Edwards hit the first pitch of the contest deep to right field for his first career home run.
Milwaukee responded in the bottom half of the first. After Turang led off with a single to center, Bauers stepped up with two outs and knocked a curveball 404 feet, putting it into the second deck in right for a 2-1 lead.
Miami threatened in the third but was denied by the glove of Turang at second base. With two on and one out, Jake Burger was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Jesus Sanchez then connected on a changeup and seemingly sent a liner into right field, but Turang dove to his right and snared it.
One batter later, Turang dove in the other direction to take a hit away from Otto Lopez, ending the inning.
The Brewers padded their lead in the fourth. Rhys Hoskins hit a one-out single and Garrett Mitchell followed with a double. Joey Ortiz drove in Hoskins with a base hit and Turang brought in Mitchell with a single to left, making it 4-1.
That was the final inning for Marlins starter Kyle Tyler (0-2), who gave up four runs on seven hits and fanned five in his four frames. Tyler walked two.
In the home half of the fifth, Jackson Chourio belted a leadoff home run to center off reliever Emmanuel Ramirez. Bauers then tripled and later scored to make it 6-1 when Hoskins hit a sacrifice fly.
The Marlins picked up their second run in the seventh. Edwards tripled with one out and came home on Bryan De La Cruz's groundout.
Brewers closer Devin Williams made his season debut in the ninth after recovering from a back injury. He gave up one hit -- Edwards' infield single to complete the cycle -- and one walk before getting a groundout to end the game.
