Ryan Braun drove in three runs and six pitchers combined on a six-hitter as the Milwaukee Brewers bested the Florida Marlins 6-2 on Friday night.
Rickie Weeks had two hits, two runs and two walks for the Brewers, who have combined for 29 runs and 47 hits in winning their last three games. They had scored just 15 runs in their previous five games.
Braun delivered a two-out, two-run single off Florida starter Andrew Miller (1-4) in the third inning that took a bad hop past Florida first baseman Gaby Sanchez. It scored Milwaukee starter Mark Rogers and Weeks, who delivered one-out singles to start the rally.
Braun ripped his 43rd double two frames later, a run-scoring line shot to left, and Prince Fielder blooped a base hit to left to score Braun, increasing the edge to 4-0 and ending the night for Miller, who was charged with four runs and eight hits in 4 1/3 innings.
Making his first major league start, Rogers pitched three hitless innings. The 2004 first-round pick struck out the side in the first, sandwiched around two walks and a hit batter. The right-hander struck out two and walked four.
Jeremy Jeffress (1-0), a 2006 first-round pick, followed with two scoreless frames to record his first major league victory.
Florida got on the board with an RBI single by Osvaldo Martinez in the seventh, but Milwaukee tacked on two more in the eighth on a run-scoring triple by Joe Inglett and a single by Weeks – the 13th of the game for Milwaukee.
Logan Morrison went 0-for-4 for Florida, snapping his streak of reaching base safely at 42 games – four shy of Luis Castillo’s 2006 club record.
