The Milwaukee Brewers received a solo home run from Brice Turang and scored five runs in the third inning en route to a 6-3 road victory Saturday in Boston over the Red Sox.

Turang's homer, his third of the season, came against Zack Kelly and increased Milwaukee's lead to 6-2 in the eighth.

The five-run third featured two doubles, three singles and a walk.

After Christian Yelich doubled and Willy Adames drew a walk, the Brewers received RBI singles from Jake Bauers, Gary Sanchez and Sal Frelick to build a 3-0 lead. Joey Ortiz followed with a two-run double that drove in Sanchez and Frelick to increase the lead to 5-0.

Six consecutive batters reached base with two outs.

All five runs were scored against Boston starting pitcher Nick Pivetta (2-3), who exited the mound with one out in the fourth. He gave up seven hits, struck out three and walked three.

The Brewers used Jared Koenig as an opener for the second straight game. He threw 15 pitches Saturday after throwing 12 pitches during Milwaukee's 7-2 victory on Friday night.

Colin Rea (4-2) replaced Koenig on the mound with one out in the second. Rea limited Boston to two runs on three hits in 5 2/3 innings. Trevor Megill struck out David Hamilton with two runners on base to end the game and earn his eighth save.

Bauers, Frelick and Ortiz each collected two hits for the Brewers, who outhit Boston 11-5.

The Red Sox didn't get a hit until Rafael Devers led off the seventh with a double against Rea. Devers scored on Wilyer Abreu's one-out double to trim Milwaukee's lead to 5-1, and then Ceddanne Rafaela's two-out single drove in Abreu to make it 5-2.

After Turang's homer pushed Milwaukee's lead to 6-2, Rafaela drove in Devers with a two-out single in the ninth to complete the scoring.

Devers had two of Boston's five hits. Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran entered Saturday's contest with a nine-game hitting streak, but that ended after he went 0 for 4.

Boston's Tyler O'Neill left Saturday's game with right knee soreness.
