MILWAUKEE (AP) — Sal Frelick and Brice Turang homered off Paul Skenes, and the Milwaukee Brewers pounded the Pittsburgh Pirates 14-0 on Tuesday night for their 11th consecutive victory.
Christian Yelich, Andrew Vaughn and Caleb Durbin also went deep as major league-leading Milwaukee improved to 27-5 in its last 32 games. Freddy Peralta (14-5) pitched six innings of three-hit ball in his second straight win.
The Brewers’ 11-game winning streak is their second of the season and the second-longest in franchise history.
Skenes (7-9) permitted four runs and six hits in four innings. The ace right-hander struck out four and walked two.
It was Skenes' first loss since July 11. He allowed a total of four runs in his previous four starts.
Frelick hit a leadoff drive in the first for his ninth homer. Turang added a solo shot in the fourth for his 12th homer, lifting the Brewers to a 3-0 lead.
