Brewers 3, Cubs 2
MILWAUKEE - Casey McGehee hit a two-run, two-out single in the ninth, rallying Milwaukee to a victory over Chicago.
Facing Cubs reliever Carlos Marmol with runners on second and third and the Brewers trailing by one, McGehee rolled a single up the middle to score Rickie Weeks and Prince Fielder and give the Brewers a much-needed home victory over their NL Central rivals.
Marmol (1-1) had converted six straight save opportunities.
It was another wasted effort for hard-luck Cubs starter Ted Lilly, who allowed one run and four hits over eight innings while striking out eight.

Astros 4, Rockies 3
DENVER - Carlos Lee had three hits, including a tie-breaking RBI single in the eighth, and Houston rallied from a three-run deficit to beat Colorado.
Pinch-hitter Michael Bourn singled off Matt Belisle (1-2) to start the eighth. Bourn went to second on a balk and advanced to third on Tommy Manzella's one-out infield single. Franklin Morales relieved and Lance Berkman reached on an RBI fielder's choice. Rafael Betancourt came in and Lee hit a broken-bat single to give the Astros their first lead.
