By STEVE MEGARGEE AP Sports Writer

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Alex Verdugo homered for the second straight game and doubled to help the Boston Red Sox defeat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-3.

The Red Sox snapped the Brewers' four-game winning streak.

Verdugo also went deep Thursday in Boston's 11-5 victory over the Minnesota Twins.

He hit a two-run shot in the third inning Friday against Milwaukee's Freddy Peralta.

Boston rallied from a 3-2 deficit thanks in part to its patience.

Each of the last three Red Sox who scored had reached base on a two-out walk.
