Ezequiel Durn leads the way as Rangers snap 4-game skid by beating Brewers 7-4

MILWAUKEE (AP) --- Ezequiel Durn homered, doubled and drove in three runs to
help the Texas Rangers avoid a sweep by beating the Milwaukee Brewers 7-4 on
Sunday.
Joc Pederson added a solo shot as the Rangers snapped their own four-game skid
and the Brewers' four-game winning streak. Milwaukee's Gary Snchez hit his
200th career homer.
Durn tied the game with a two-out solo homer in the third and put the Rangers
ahead for good by driving in two runs with a ground-rule double in the fifth.
Both his hits came off Brewers starter Dustin May (6-9).
May (6-9) was pitching four days after he got hit in the upper back by a
106-mph line drive off the bat of the New York Mets' A.J. Ewing. The comebacker
caused May to leave that game with a bruised right scapula after throwing just
one pitch.
Pederson's homer off Grant Anderson in the sixth extended Texas' lead to 5-2.
Jake Burger and Cody Freeman added RBI singles to make it 7-2 in the seventh.
Snchez's two-run shot off Jordan Montgomery cut Texas' lead to 7-4 in the
bottom of the seventh, but the Brewers wouldn't get any closer.
Tyler Alexander (5-2) pitched two innings of shutout relief to earn the win.
Jacob Latz worked the ninth for his 27th save in 30 opportunities.
Milwaukee had taken an early 2-0 lead as each of the first four batters to face
Texas starter Kumar Rocker reached base. Brice Turang drew a leadoff walk
before Garrett Mitchell, Jake Bauers and Jackson Chourio singled.
