Gerut, bullpen lifts Brewers over Rockies
Baseball Betting Lines
04/07/2010 -
Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jody Gerut provided the go-ahead run with a
pinch-hit RBI double during a two-run sixth, as Milwaukee overcame a rough
start from Doug Davis to take the rubber match of a three-game series with
Colorado, 5-4, at Miller Park.
George Kottaras, making his Brewers debut, added a sac fly in the sixth and
had an RBI groundout. Jim Edmonds collected two hits and scored twice, while
Alcides Escobar and Rickie Weeks each drove in a run.
While the Brewers scraped together the necessary runs after spotting Colorado
a three-run lead, Milwaukee's bullpen registered five scoreless innings to
give the hosts their first series win against the Rockies since July 13-15,
2007.
Todd Coffey (1-0) took over for Davis and tossed two scoreless frames to pick
up the win. Trevor Hoffman notched his second save in as many days with a
spotless ninth and is now seven saves shy of 600 for his career.
Davis allowed the first five Colorado batsmen to reach base, and sprinkled in
a pair of wild pitches during a three-run Rockies first.
The journeyman lefty, who pitched for the Brewers for parts of the 2003 season
through all of 2006 before re-signing with the club this past winter, ended up
lasting four-plus innings and gave up four runs on six hits and three walks.
Aaron Cook (0-1) reached 91 pitches in his 5 1/3-inning start for Colorado,
yielding five runs -- four earned -- on seven hits and a walk.
Miguel Olivo hit a solo home run in his Colorado debut and Troy Tulowitzki had
two hits, including an RBI double for the Rockies, who went 1-for-12 with
runners in scoring position.
