MILWAUKEE (AP) — Rookies Brice Turang and Sal Frelick hit three-run homers in consecutive innings and the Milwaukee Brewers continued Mitch Keller’s second-half skid in a 14-1 blowout of the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday. The Brewers moved back into the NL Central lead, posting their largest run total and most-lopsided victory of the season. Frelick also had a two-run double and finished with a career-high five RBIs. Turang went 3 of 5 and scored twice. Turang’s drive into the second deck of the right-field stands in the fifth inning extended Milwaukee’s lead to 8-1. Frelick’s homer made it 11-1 an inning later.
