Eric Thames’ 20th home run of the year with a pair of teammates on base was the big blast in a four-run rally as the Brewers beat Houston 4-2 Tuesday night. The win gave Milwaukee a split of the two-game interleague series and matched the wins put up by the Cardinals and Cubs. Jordan Lyles earned his 10th victory with six-and-a-third strong innings, giving up two runs and Josh Hader nailed down save number 28. The Brewers are off tonight, then host the Cubs in Chicago Thursday with Chase Anderson getting the start.
