MILWAUKEE (AP) — Jake Bauers hit a two-run homer as the Milwaukee Brewers got all their runs in the first inning of a 4-3 victory over the Houston Astros on Tuesday. Rhys Hoskins opened the scoring with a two-out, two-run double off the center-field wall off Hayden Wesneski. Bauers followed that up by clearing that center-field wall as he connected on a 1-2 pitch and delivered a 416-foot drive. Milwaukee’s Chad Patrick worked a career-high 6 2/3 innings and carried a one-hit shutout into the seventh before allowing a three-run homer to Brendan Rodgers.
