Astros salvage game with Brewers

Baseball Betting Lines

08/12/2007 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Craig Biggio, Ty Wigginton and Lance Berkman all homered as Houston downed Milwaukee, 6-4, in the finale of a three-game set at Minute Maid Park.

Eric Bruntlett added a big two-run single for the Astros, who avoided a sweep with the win. Brad Ausmus chipped in with a run-scoring double.

Woody Williams hurled seven solid innings for Houston, allowing just two runs on five hits but recorded a no-decision. Mark McLemore (2-0) earned the win with a perfect eighth.

Geoff Jenkins had two homers for the Brewers, who still lead the AL Central by 1 1/2 games over the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs fell to the Colorado Rockies, 6-3, Sunday. J.J. Hardy had a two-run homer for Milwaukee.

Claudio Vargas surrendered two runs on five hits in six innings of work for Milwaukee. Carlos Villanueva (6-3) lost it after allowing three runs in the eighth.

With the game deadlocked, Berkman led off the eighth by blasting his 21st homer of the year over the wall in right. Luke Scott then drew a one-out walk and, after Wigginton flied out, swiped second. After Villanueva walked Jason Lane, Milwaukee manager Ned Yost went to Chris Spurling but Ausmus greeted the reliever with an RBI double.

Spurling intentionally walked pinch hitter Mike Lamb to load the bases before Bruntlett, who entered the game as a defensive replacement, slapped a two-run single up the middle to give the Astros a seemingly comfortable 6-2 edge.

The Brewers weren't done, however. Bill Hall led off the ninth with a double off Trever Miller. The left-hander seemed to settle down from there and got Jenkins to fly out and Damian Miller to ground out but Hardy blasted a two-run homer to left, his 20th of the season.

Brad Lidge came on from there and got Kevin Mench to secure things and earn his eighth save.

The Brewers went on top early when Jenkins led off the second with his 15th homer of the season.

Jenkins then made it a 2-0 game when he hit another lead off home run in the fourth.

The Astros finally got on the board in the fifth when Biggio connected on a one-out, solo homer to left, his ninth on the season.

The solo homer parade continued in the sixth when Wigginton deposited his first homer as a member of the Astros over the wall in left to even the game at 2-2.

Game Notes

Prince Fielder was ejected by home plate umpire Wally Bell after arguing a called third strike that ended the eighth inning for Milwaukee...Jenkins now has 10 career multi-homer games.
