MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Ryan Braun hit two home runs and Michael Fiers pitched seven strong innings to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-2 over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday.
Braun added a double and a walk to back Fiers (2-2), the right-hander who gave up one run on four hits with five strikeouts. Aramis Ramirez and Cody Ransom also homered for the Brewers, who have taken the first two games in this interleague series.
Liam Hendriks (0-3) gave up five runs -- two earned -- on eight hits in five innings in his first start since being recalled from Triple-A Rochester. Trevor Plouffe went 0 for 1 with three walks, ending his streak of four straight games with a homer as the Twins lost their fourth straight.
