Wolf sharp, Braun, Weeks homer in Brewers’ 6-1 win over Astros to snap 8-game home skid

Brewers snap 8-game home skid with win over Astros

MILWAUKEE — Randy Wolf pitched seven scoreless innings, Ryan Braun and Rickie Weeks homered and the Milwaukee Brewers snapped an eight-game home losing streak with a 6-1 victory over the Houston Astros on Tuesday night.

The Brewers, who avoided their longest skid at home in 14 years, lost 11 of the past 13 overall.

Braun started it with a two-run homer in the first and Weeks’ two-run shot sealed it in the seventh.

In between, Wolf (4-4) was dominant after struggling through a miserable May. Milwaukee is still a franchise-worst 5-14 at home to start the year.

Houston starter Felipe Paulino (0-7) had his third quality start in his last four appearances, only allowing Braun’s blast.
