CHICAGO — Brice Turang hit a two-run homer, Isaac Collins drove in two insurance runs and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 4-1 on Thursday.
Turang and Sal Frelick each had two hits as the Brewers opened a seven-game lead over Chicago in the NL Central.
Milwaukee took the finale in a five-game series at Wrigley Field after the Cubs won three straight. The Brewers won Monday's opener 7-0.
Milwaukee starter Quinn Priester allowed one run on three hits in 4 1/3 innings, but fell short of winning his 11th straight decision. The right-hander issued a season-high five walks while striking out four and was relieved by Nick Mears (5-3) in the fifth.
Five Brewers relievers limited Chicago to two hits. Trevor Megill worked around a single in the ninth for his 30th save.
