William Contreras homered among his two hits, Brice Turang and Christian Yelich also went deep, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Colorado Rockies 7-1 in Denver on Tuesday night.

Rhys Hoskins finished with two hits and Jackson Chourio doubled and tripled for Milwaukee, which has won six of its last seven after starting the season with four straight losses.

Brenton Doyle homered and Zac Veen had a bunt single in his major league debut for Colorado. Veen, who finished 1-for-4, is the second Rockies player to make his debut in as many games. Pitcher Chase Dollander did it on Sunday against the Athletics.

The Brewers got a scare in the second inning when Isaac Collins crashed into the left-field wall in foul territory after making a running catch on Veen’s fly ball. He stayed down for a few minutes, was checked out by team trainers and remained in the game.

Collins then led off Milwaukee’s four-run third inning with a single, Joey Ortiz singled, both moved up on Turang’s groundout to first and scored on Chourio’s double.

Yelich struck out, but three straight singles brought home two more.

The Rockies got a run in the bottom of the inning on Doyle’s one-out homer, his second homer of the season, and threatened for more when starter Freddy Peralta walked Ezequiel Tovar and Ryan McMahon. Peralta got the next two batters to get out of the jam.

Peralta (1-1) allowed one run on three hits and struck out six in five innings.

Freeland kept his team within three runs after Chourio led off the fifth with a triple to center. He struck out Yelich and Contreras and then got Hoskins to fly out to left to end the inning, but Turang’s solo shot in the seventh chased the lefty.

Freeland (0-2) allowed five runs on eight hits and struck out five in 6 1/3 innings.

Yelich and Contreras hit back-to-back solo homers off reliever Jimmy Herget later in the seventh.
