Quinn Priester throws 7 dominant innings as Brewers blank Rockies 5-0
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Quinn Priester struck out a career-high 11 batters in seven innings of one-hit ball, Joey Ortiz homered for the third time in four games, and the Milwaukee Brewers extended their winning streak to four with a 5-0 victory over the major league-worst Colorado Rockies on Saturday.
Priester (6-2) allowed a one-out single to Michael Toglia in the fifth and walked a pair while throwing 95 pitches in the longest and best start of his three major league seasons.
Aaron Ashby and DL Hall completed the one-hitter.
Brice Turang had three hits, including a run-scoring infield single in the first and an RBI double in the fifth. Ortiz hit a two-run homer in the fourth.
Antonio Senzatela (3-11) allowed five runs on eight hits and three walks in 4 2/3 innings.
Key moment
Facing the top of Colorado's lineup for the third time, Priester had an 0-2 count on Tyler Freeman to start the sixth before throwing four straight balls. He followed that by getting Jordan Beck to ground out, then struck out the next two batters on seven pitches.
Milwaukee's pitching staff has an NL-leading 3.27 ERA over the last 31 games, during which the Brewers are 22-9.
Up next
Chad Patrick (3-7, 3.72 ERA) tries to help the Brewers complete a three-game sweep when he faces the Rockies' German Marquez (3-8, 6.11) on Sunday.

Mike Trout and Kevin Newman power Angels to win over Nationals
Mike Trout hit a tying homer that sparked a six-run seventh inning, Kevin Newman added a three-run shot and the Angels rolled to an 8-2 victory over the Washington Nationals on Saturday night. Kyle Hendricks gave up one run in five innings and rookie Christian Moore delivered the go-ahead single with two outs in the seventh. Gustavo Campero also homered for the Angels. CJ Abrams went deep for the Nationals, and Michael Soroka pitched six innings of two-hit ball. Washington took a 2-1 lead in the seventh on Riley Adams' RBI single off Ryan Zeferjahn (5-1). Trout connected against Zach Brzykcy (0-1) leading off the bottom half for his 13th home run. The Angels then sent 11 more batters to the plate in the inning, with Taylor Ward (double), Jo Adell (single) and Moore contributing important hits. Newman, batting ninth, launched his first homer this season off Eduardo Salazar for a 6-2 lead. Luis Rengifo's double and Ward's bases-loaded walk made it 7-2. Campero homered in the eighth. The Angels took a 1-0 lead in the second when Ward was hit by a pitch and scored on Logan O'Hoppe's double-play grounder. The Nationals tied it in the fifth on Abrams' 12th homer. Soroka struck out five and walked one in a no-decision. Salazar struck out O'Hoppe and got Zach Neto to pop out with runners on first and third in the seventh and was one strike from escaping the jam when Moore hammered a 1-2 fastball above the zone for an RBI single and a 3-2 Angels lead. Soroka entered with a 3.49 ERA through five innings and a 22.85 ERA in the sixth. But after giving up Newman's leadoff single in the sixth, the right-hander started a 1-6-3 double play on Rengifo's grounder and got Nolan Schanuel to pop out to preserve a 1-all tie. Nationals left-hander Mitchell Parker (5-8, 4.59 ERA) opposes Angels right-hander Jack Kochanowicz (3-8, 5.49) in Sunday's series finale.
