MILWAUKEE (AP) — Luis Rengifo drove in three runs, Kyle Harrison recorded seven strikeouts in five scoreless innings and the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the San Diego Padres 7-1 on Thursday. The victory capped a 5-1 homestand for the Brewers, who swept the New York Yankees before winning two of three from San Diego. Harrison (4-1) allowed five hits and no walks to improve his ERA to 2.09. The Brewers scored three runs in each of the first two innings against Griffin Canning (0-2), who couldn’t make it out of the second. After starting his day with a strikeout of Jackson Chourio, Canning walked four straight batters. Andrew Vaughn drove in Milwaukee’s first run by taking a 3-2 pitch outside. Rengifo then connected on a 3-2 offering and hit a two-run single to right. In the second inning, Brice Turang and Gary Sánchez hit RBI doubles before Vaughn singled home Sánchez. Canning has yielded 12 runs over six innings in his last two starts. He has given up all those runs without allowing a homer in either start. The Brewers extended the lead to 7-0 in the fourth as Vaughn doubled and scored on a Rengifo single. San Diego's , who went 2 for 4, scored an unearned run in the ninth inning to prevent the shutout. Milwaukee's was out of the starting lineup for a second straight game and has played just once since from the injured list Tuesday. Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Wednesday that Yelich was dealing with back soreness. Yelich had missed about a month with an adductor strain.
