Lyles, Rockies keep Brewers winless
MILWAUKEE -- Jordan Lyles pitched six effective innings and the Colorado Rockies hit six doubles for the second consecutive game in a 5-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night.
Lyles (1-0) limited the Brewers to two runs and five hits. He lost four of his final five starts last season.
Jean Segura was hit in the face by Lyles' changeup in the fifth and stayed sprawled in front of home plate for several minutes. Segura apparently was OK, though, and remained in the game.
Six players doubled for the Rockies, who had 12 hits overall. Colorado had eight extra-base hits and 16 overall in the season opener Monday, a 10-0 victory.
The Rockies, who managed only one hit off Brewers starter Matt Garza through three innings, scored three runs in the fourth. Colorado had four consecutive hits in the inning.
Troy Tulowitzki got it started with a double and scored on Nolan Arenado's one-out double. Corey Dickerson followed with an RBI double, and Nick Hundley had a run-scoring single.
Adam Lind hit a drive off the center-field wall leading off the fourth for the Brewers but was thrown out trying to stretch the hit into a triple.
Carlos Gonzalez doubled to start the Colorado fifth and scored on Tulowitzki's single.
Garza (0-1) gave up four runs and eight hits in five innings.
The Rockies tacked on a run in the sixth when Hundley doubled and scored on Gonzalez's sacrifice fly. Hundley finished with three hits.
A trio of Rockies relievers combined for three scoreless innings. Colorado pitchers retired their final 13 batters, and LaTroy Hawkins got his first save of the season.
Milwaukee broke through for two runs in the fifth, ending a 13-inning scoreless streak to start the season. After getting hit by a pitch, Segura scored the Brewers' second run on Carlos Gomez's double.
Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun was not in the starting lineup, a day after leaving the team's opener because of a strain in his right side. Braun had an MRI on Tuesday morning.
"The results were good," manager Ron Roenicke said. "He should be back in there tomorrow."
Braun insisted the injury isn't significant.
"From that perspective I'm fortunate and encouraged by it. Yesterday I wasn't sure," he said.
