Brice Turang hit two of Milwaukee's five solo homers, Jacob Misiorowski struck out eight in seven solid innings and the Brewers beat the Colorado Rockies 7-1 in Denver on Saturday night.

David Hamilton homered and tied a career-high with four hits, William Contreras and Jake Bauers (four walks) also went deep and Turang, Contreras and Christian Yelich had two hits apiece for the Brewers, who have won five of their last seven games.

The Brewers got a scare when Misiorowski was hit in the calf by Troy Johnston's comebacker in the second inning for Colorado's first hit. Misiorowski was checked out by a trainer and stayed in the game after a couple of warmup pitches.

He got Ezequiel Tovar to ground into a double play to end the inning.

Misiorowski was rattled in the sixth when his 98 mph fastball hit Tyler Freeman in the helmet. Freeman was pinch run for by Sterlin Thompson.

Misiorowski (7-2) scattered four hits and allowed one unearned run to lower his ERA to 1.50, second in MLB to the Phillies' Christopher Sanchez (1.46).

Kyle Karros had two doubles and an RBI for Colorado, which has lost three in a row.

Turang hit his first homer in the first inning, then Hamilton connected for his third of the season in the second off of Zach Agnos (0-1), who left after allowing two runs on three hits over three innings.

Colorado got to Misiorowski with two outs in the fifth. Edouard Julien reached on a two-base error by shortstop Joey Ortiz and Karros followed with an RBI double to right.

The hosts threatened in the sixth when Jake McCarthy led off with a single and Misiorowski hit Freeman. Hunter Goodman walked one out later to load the bases but Misiorowski got Johnston on a fly to short left and Tovar grounded out to end the inning.

The Brewers opened it up in the seventh. Contreras hit a solo homer, Bauers walked for the fourth time and Andrew Vaughn singled. Bauers and pinch runner Blake Perkins pulled off a double steal and both scored when first baseman TJ Rumfield misplayed Sal Frelick's grounder.

Turang and Bauers homered in the eighth to pad the lead.
