Milwaukee pitcher Adrian Houser went six strong innings, allowing only one unearned run, but the Brewers could not muster any offense against the Atlanta Braves Tuesday night in a 3-0 shutout.
The Braves scored on an error by third baseman Mike Brosseau in the fifth inning and added two more runs on a booming home run by Marcell Ozuna in the eighth inning to seal the victory.
Milwaukee could only manage five hits all night and Braves starter Tucker Davidson picked up his first win of the season, allowing only three hits in five innings.
The Braves (17-20) and Brewers (23-14) will play the rubber game of the three-game series Wednesday at American Family Field with first pitch set for 12:10 pm.
