MLB: Houston 9, Milwaukee 6

MILWAUKEE, May 28 (UPI) -- Morgan Ensberg and Adam Everett each hit three-run homers Saturday to help St. Louis rookie Wandy Rodriguez get his first major-league win, 9-6 over Milwaukee.

Mike Lamb added two doubles and two RBI as the Astros, who had lost eight of their previous nine games, won for just the fourth time in 26 games away from home.

Bill Hall was 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI for Milwaukee, which had a four-game win streak end. Carlos Lee and Junior Spivey also homered for the Brewers.

Rodriguez (1-1) allowed four runs and nine hits over six innings but walked none and struck out five in only his second career start. Milwaukee's Ben Sheets (1-4), who had not pitched since April 20 due to an ear infection, yielded just two hits and fanned nine in five innings.
