MILWAUKEE, April 20 (UPI) -- Keith Ginter delivered a two-run single in the bottom of the seventh inning Sunday as the Milwaukee Brewers rallied for a 5-4 victory over the Houston Astros.
Acquired last September in a deal that sent Mark Loretta to the Astros, Ginter fills the role of a utility infielder for the Brewers. He started the day with one RBI in 12 games before responding with a career day.
Ginter came through with two outs in the seventh, grounding a single into left field off Pete Munro (4-3) to erase a 4-3 deficit. Ginter also had a run-scoring single an inning earlier and finished with a career-high three RBI.
Curtis Leskanic (1-0) worked 1 2/3 scoreless innings in relief of starter Ben Sheets for the win.
Luis Vizcaino finished the top of the eighth by striking out Jose Vizcaino with the bases loaded and Mike DeJean retired the side in order in the ninth for his fourth save.
