Max Scherzer moved into 11th place on the career strikeout list just before an erratic stretch when he forced in a pair of runs, and the NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers beat the Texas Rangers 6-2 on Sunday for a three-game series sweep.
Corey Seager hit his 23rd homer for the AL West-leading Rangers , who matched a season high with their fourth consecutive loss.
Brewers starter Adrian Houser struck out seven and allowed one run over five innings. Closer Devin Williams got his 30th save in 33 chances after coming in to get the final out with two on and an unearned run already in. That also was the start of 42-pitch inning for Scherzer, who finished with a season-high four walks in 3 2/3 innings. Milwaukee, which has won three games started by Scherzer this year, scored its first run when Scherzer hit Willy Adames on the helmet with a fastball. Five pitches later, Scherzer walked Rowdy Tellez on a 3-1 fastball that just missed low and outside.
