05/27/2010 - Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rickie Weeks drew a game-winning walk with the bases loaded and two outs in the 10th, helping the Milwaukee Brewers rally for a 4-3 win over the Houston Astros in the rubber match of a three-game series at Miller Mark.
Weeks finished the game 2-for-3 with three walks for the Brewers, who snapped a five-series winless streak with Thursday's victory. Carlos Gomez finished with two hits and two RBI -- including the game-tying RBI single in the ninth inning.
Casey McGehee went 3-for-5 with his NL-leading 41st RBI for Milwaukee, which is 20-7 at home against Houston since the 2007 season. John Axford (1-0) earned his first career victory after pitching a perfect 10th inning, while Dave Bush was spared the hard-luck loss after allowing two unearned runs in five frames.
Brett Myers gave up two runs on seven hits and three walks in six innings for the Astros, who are winless in their last five series (0-4-1). Hunter Pence chipped in with three hits and two stolen bases, while Geoff Blum drove two runs.
Matt Lindstrom (1-1) had his streak of 22 consecutive saves snapped after giving up a run in the ninth, then received his first loss of the year after yielding the game-winning run in the 10th. He walked three batters and gave up four hits.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.
Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.
Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.
A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.
Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.
Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.
And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
