The veteran left-hander tossed 61 of his 101 pitches for strikes and lowered his ERA to 3.30 with the performance, which enabled the National League Central-leading Brewers to post their 16th win in 18 home games.

Corey Hart, Ryan Braun and Jonathan Lucroy each smacked a solo homer to provide Milwaukee's offense.

The triple play came in the second inning when James Loney grounded a ball to second baseman Josh Wilson. Wilson flipped to shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt for one out, and Betancourt threw to first baseman Prince Fielder for a second out.

The third out came when Fielder threw home to nail Matt Kemp as he tried to score on the play.
