Matt Garza won in his return from the disabled list, Jean Segura ended a long power drought and the Brewers kept on winning, 8-1, over the Indians on Tuesday at Miller Park for Milwaukee’s 17th victory in 23 games.
“I think we’re in a mood right now of, ‘Let’s play a good game tomorrow,'” said Brewers manager Craig Counsell, whose club is within 10 games of .500 for the first time since May 15. “We’ve been doing good in that mode and I think that’s the mode to stay in.”
The Indians lost for the fourth time in six games while going 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position against Garza and the Brewers’ bullpen. Returning from a sore shoulder, Garza scattered six hits and a pair of walks over six scoreless innings for his first victory since June 6.
The Brewers tallied only two hits in six innings against Indians starter Danny Salazar, but made them count. Gerardo Parra tripled and scored on a groundout in the first inning — the first of Parra’s two triples in the game — and Segura connected for a two-run home run in the second. A four-run rally in the seventh inning sealed the Brewers’ fourth win in as many games since the All-Star break.
