Brewers strike early, hold on late for 5-3 win over Rangers

The Brewers defeated the Rangers 5-3 for their fourth consecutive win and fifth straight series victory. Jackson Chourio and William Contreras hit solo home runs in the first inning against Rangers starter Cal Quantrill, who had allowed just three runs all month entering the game, and the Brewers added another run in the second to build a 3-0 lead. Brewers pitcher Shane Drohan allowed only one run across five innings while striking out six, and the offense tacked on two more runs in the seventh inning to put the game out of reach despite a late Rangers rally that brought the score to 5-3.
