Brewers Stick Astros with 8-2 Loss
Milwaukee beat Houston on the strength of starter Mike Jenkins's fine effort. The left-hander led his team to a win, 8-2. In 7.2 innings, Jenkins surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 4. He allowed 2 runs. The Brewers' win now puts them at 47-65.

Milwaukee used the timely hitting of Jamie Saxton to capture the win. The shortstop socked a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Brewers ahead, 5-2. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a big one.

Saxton told a Milwaukee Herald reporter that he was "more than satisfied" with the win.
