Final
Jungmann's career-high 8 Ks help Brewers defeat Padres 8-5
Aug 6, 2015 - 4:09 AM MILWAUKEE (AP) After another strong outing, Milwaukee rookie Taylor Jungmann was asked if the novelty of being in the majors had worn off.''It never will,'' he said. ''Once you try to relax, feel comfortable here, that's when somebody will jump up and get you.''
Jungmann struck out a career-high eight and allowing six hits without a walk over seven innings in the Milwaukee Brewers' 8-5 win over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday night.
''The breaking ball was big today,'' Jungmann said. ''That's how I expect to throw the breaking ball, and I haven't really done that since I've been up. There's been a couple of games where it's been decent, but not like that. That was definitely the best I've thrown it all year.''
Jonathan Lucroy, Shane Peterson and Jean Segura each drove in two runs to help Milwaukee record back-to-back wins for the first time in 15 games.
Jungmann (6-3) has allowed two earned runs or fewer in eight straight starts and in 10 of his 11.
After San Diego scored three runs in the ninth off Corey Knebel, Francisco Rodriguez recorded the final out for his 25th save in as many chances.
Padres starter Ian Kennedy (6-10) gave up four earned runs on seven hits in seven innings. He struck out seven without a walk, but San Diego still lost consecutive games for the first time since July 23.
That's because Jungmann settled down after giving up a run and three hits in the first. Singles by Alexi Amarista and Yangervis Solarte were followed by a sacrifice fly by Matt Kemp, before Justin Upton singled. The right-hander then retired 17 of the next 18 batters he faced.
''Yeah, he was really good (after the first),'' Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said. ''He got it going after that. That curveball, especially after the first, was a real weapon.''
In the bottom of the first, Lucroy hit a two-run blast to left field for his fourth of the year, and Peterson's triple to right gave Milwaukee a 4-1 lead.
The Brewers added four more runs in the eighth, including two on a single to by Segura for a 7-2 lead.
Kennedy rejoined the team in Milwaukee on Tuesday after he left Saturday because of the birth of his fourth child the day before. He is 2-5 in his last eight starts.
''The flying back and forth was only one more flight than these guys had to go through on Sunday,'' Kennedy said. ''Overall, I felt pretty good physically. It was just minor tweaks I wish I could have made to a few batters in the first inning.''
ANOTHER GAME, ANOTHER HIT
Solarte extended his career-high hitting streak to 11 games with a single in the first. It is the longest streak by a Padres' player this year and most since Will Venable's 15-gamer Aug. 2-18, 2013.
BEEN AWHILE
The last game Lucroy homered was also the last time he drove in more than one run - July 18, a span of 15 games.
SOMETHING TO CHEER ABOUT
Milwaukee is in the middle of playing 17 of 20 games at home. After starting that stretch 0-5, the Brewers have won back-to-back games at Miller Park.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Padres: Upton returned to the lineup after missing the game Tuesday with a bruised right thumb.
Brewers: RHP Brandon Kintzler (left knee tendinitis) began a minor-league rehab assignment Tuesday.
UP NEXT
Padres: Odrisamer Despaigne (5-7) will try to win his third straight start for the first time this season.
Brewers: Matt Garza (5-12) faces San Diego for the first time since Sept. 27, 2011, when he was with the Cubs.
- SAN DIEGO: 5
MILWAUKEE: 8
