W: Parra (10-6)
It wasn’t that Manny Parra turned in an outstanding, dominant performance against the Astros, but it was good enough for a win, which is something he’ll take given his hard-luck performances of late.
Parra pitched 5 innings, allowing only 2 runs for his 10th win. But the Brewers offense was too much for the Astros to overcome, thanks to the middle of the Milwaukee lineup.
The Brewers gained a game on the Cubs, who surprisingly lost a game at Wrigley to the Reds, of all teams.
