Casey McGehee had a home run and four RBIs to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to an 11-6 win over the Houston Astros on Sunday.
Houston scored two in the top of the first to grab an early lead, but Milwaukee responded in the bottom half of the frame with four of its own. Ryan Braun scored two on a single, McGehee followed with an RBI double and Lorenzo Cain capped the inning with a sacrifice fly.
The Brewers struck again for four more runs in the third, courtesy of a two-run double by Cain, RBI single by Alcides Escobar and another run-scoring double by Jonathan Lucroy to make it 8-2.
McGehee added a three-run homer in the fourth to cap the Milwaukee attack.
The run support was enough to make a winner out of Brewers starter Yovani Gallardo (11-5), who yielded four runs on eight hits and a walk in six innings. He struck out seven.
Houston starter Wesley Wright took the brunt of the Milwaukee attack. He was on the hook for seven runs, five hits and four walks in just 2 1/3 innings. He struck out one as his record drops to 1-2.
Michael Bourn had a two-run single in the fourth, Carlos Lee plated Hunter Pence in the eighth and Jeff Keppinger collected his second RBI of the game in the ninth to complete Houston’s scoring.
