Bauers homers off Rodrguez in 7th, Brewers come back to beat Diamondbacks 3-2

PHOENIX (AP) --- Jake Bauers homered off Arizona All-Star Eduardo Rodrguez in
the seventh inning and the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Diamondbacks 3-2 on
Sunday.
Bauers hit his team-leading 16th homer to right to chase Rodrguez (7-3). The
lefty took a 1-0 lead into the seventh, but Andrew Vaughn led off with a single
and Bauer's blast came on Rodrguez's 100th and final pitch of the game.
Rodrguez, named to the All-Star Game for the first time in his 12-year career
on Saturday, gave up six hits, walked none and struck out three. His ERA rose
slightly to 2.25.
Joey Ortiz's single drove in a run later in the seventh against Kevin Ginkel to
make it 3-1, and the Diamondbacks got that run back in their half when Gabriel
Moreno beat the relay on a bases-loaded force play.
Drew Rom (1-0), called up earlier Sunday to replace injured Brandon Woodruff,
got one out in the sixth. Trevor Megill pitched the ninth for his 13th save.
Geraldo Perdomo and Corbin Carroll hit back-to-back doubles for Arizona's first
run. Perdomo's was the 100th double of his career.
Brandon Sproat labored through four innings for the Brewers, throwing 92
pitches but giving up just the one run. He allowed five hits, walked three and
struck out four.
None of the Brewers starters in the series made it to the fifth inning. Kyle
Harrison was knocked out in the third inning of Friday's game and Woodruff left
Saturday in the fourth with right shoulder inflammation.
But Milwaukee relievers were outstanding, allowing just three runs (two earned)
in 17 2/3 innings.

Michael McGreevy (3-7, 3.12) in St. Louis.
