Brewers' Figueroa finds a groove, topples Braves 4-3

MILWAUKEE -- Nelson Figueroa settled down after a rocky first inning and hit a two-run single off Greg Maddux in the Milwaukee Brewers' 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night.

The Brewers snapped a six-game skid in Jerry Royster's first game as manager after the club removed the "interim" tag from his title.

The Brewers erased a 3-0 deficit against Maddux (2-2) in the fourth, when Tyler Houston hit a two-run double and Figueroa (1-1) blooped a two-out, two-run single to left field for a 4-3 lead.

Expos 5, Astros 1

HOUSTON -- Javier Vazquez pitched a five-hitter and Peter Bergeron drove in two runs as Montreal beat Houston.

Vazquez (1-1), who pitched nine innings in a 15-inning 5-4 victory over Milwaukee in his last start, struck out nine and didn't walk a batter in his 11th career complete game.

Rockies 10, Pirates 0

DENVER -- Mike Hampton won for the first time this season, pitching seven scoreless innings as the Rockies stayed unbeaten under new manager Clint Hurdle.

Colorado, 4-0 since Hurdle replaced Buddy Bell on Friday, broke it open with an eight-run fourth inning, keyed by Todd Helton's two-run single.
