Right-hander Adrian Houser picked up the pitching victory Tuesday as his Milwaukee Brewers edged the Marlins 5-4.
What no one saw coming was Houser’s solo home run in the second inning for a pitcher who has a lifetime batting average of .071.
Rookie Tyrone Taylor went 3-for-4 with a homer and three runs batted in for the Brewers. Josh Hader picked up his fifth save.
The Central Division-leading Brewers have won six of their last eight games and they will try to track the rubber game of the series this afternoon at 12:40 PM.
Manager Craig Counsell hasn’t announced his starting pitcher for the game that will be aired on 107.9 FM WOMT.
