The Brewers jumped out to a 2-run lead in the bottom of the first, as Mike Maguire hit the first Rockies pitch of the game for a ground-rule double. Marc Hordon drove in Maguire with a triple, later scoring on a Tony Iafolla single. Maguire and Hordon scored two runs each, which gave Kevin Christina all the breathing room he would need. Mike McCarthy pitched 2 1/3 innings of shutout relief to give the Rockies offense a chance to come back.
