Astros 5, Brewers Nada
WP Norris (2-1) | LP Narveson (1-2)
HR Caballo
Bud Norris was on top of his game Sunday, stifling the potent Brewer attack with a mixture of fastballs and darting sliders. Pitching to the strike zone, with an unhittable slider, he struck out 11 and scattered three hits and three walks.
Carlos Lee singled and scored on Bill Hall’s hit in the second and had a three-run jack in the sixth off of a hanging breaking ball. Later, Lee took an Angel Sanchez flying kneedrop to the chest in the eighth on a tweener and was taken to the hospital for X-rays and scans. He’s bruised but not broken, and is day to day.
Fulchino, Abad and Melancon finished up, throwing nine pitches each.
