Jackson Chourio, Brewers unload on Rockies, 17-2

Jackson Chourio homered, doubled and drove in five runs, William Contreras and Christian Yelich each went deep for the second straight game, and the Milwaukee Brewers routed the Colorado Rockies 17-2 in Denver on Wednesday night.

Garrett Mitchell, Joey Ortiz and Brice Turang had two hits apiece and Garrett Anderson (1-0) got the win with two innings of relief for Milwaukee. The Brewers have won three straight games and seven of their last eight despite their rotation not having four of the five projected starters coming out of spring training.

Left-hander Tyler Alexander, who has come out of the bullpen for most of his career, gave up two runs in 3 2/3 innings in his second start of the season.

Ryan McMahon homered and Ezequiel Tovar and Kris Bryant had two hits apiece for Colorado.

Chourio has feasted on Rockies pitchers in the first two games of this series. He was 2-for-5 with two RBIs in the Brewers’ 7-1 win on Tuesday. He opened the scoring in the third inning when he drove in Ortiz and Turang with a double off the scoreboard in right field. He scored on Contreras’ homer into the Brewers’ bullpen to give them a 5-0 lead.

McMahon’s homer in the bottom of the third, his second of the season, made it 5-1, and then Colorado added another run in the fourth when Bryant doubled and scored on Brenton Doyle’s single.

Milwaukee broke it open in the fifth off Rockies starter Antonio Senzatela.

Ortez and Turang led off with singles and Chourio followed with his fourth homer of the season, a 413-foot shot to left-center field. Yelich singled, and one out later Senzatela was pulled.

Senzatela (0-2) allowed nine runs — eight earned — and struck out three in 4 1/3 innings. Senzatela did not give up an earned run in his first two starts but saw his ERA rise to 5.14 after Wednesday’s outing.

The Brewers scored seven more runs in the ninth — six off of Seth Halvorsen. Yelich hit a two-run homer, and Ortiz capped the rally with a two-run single.
