Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Rickie Weeks scored on a squeeze bunt from pinch-hitter Norichika Aoki in the eighth inning, and the Brewers beat the Miami Marlins, 6-5, in the opener of a four-game series.
The Brewers trailed 2-0 and 5-2 early in the contest before storming back to pick up their third straight win.
Zack Greinke, who is a perfect 15-0 at Miller Park, was in jeopardy of losing his first decision at home as a Brewer after allowing five runs on six hits and two walks in six innings. However, he was let off the hook after the Brewers tied the game in the bottom of the sixth. Only two pitchers have won their first 16 home decisions with a team.
Carlos Zambrano also received a no-decision after giving up five runs -- three earned -- on five hits and four walks in six innings.
Justin Ruggiano hit a two-run home run and knocked in four runs for the Marlins, who had their four-game winning streak snapped. They've lost nine in a row to the Brewers.
