After being kicked out of Saturday’s game in the 1st inning, Zach Greinke
Corey Hart
started Sunday’s game for the Milwaukee Brewers in Houston. Greinke struggled right out of the gate, allowing three first inning runs. He was removed after 3. But five Brewer relievers combined to hold the Astros to 2-hits the rest of the way and Milwaukee rebounded for a 5-3 win.
Corey Hart drove in the go-ahead run with a single in the 10th inning and Rickie Weeks added some insurance with a run scoring single. Weeks had three hits to help the Brewers.
Manny Parra notched his first win out of the bullpen this season. John Axford notched his 15th save. Marco Estrada, Jose Veras and Francisco Rodriguez also pitched well out of the bullpen.
The Brewers head into the all-star break having won 6 of their last 10, but are 5-games under .500 (40-45). They’re 8-full games behind the division leading Pittsburgh Pirates
