Brewers batter Oswalt

The Astros' pitcher had beaten Milwaukee twice this season.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Keith Ginter's go-ahead, two-run double highlighted Milwaukee's five-run fifth inning, and the Brewers came back to beat the Houston Astros 7-4 on Saturday night.
Lyle Overbay homered for Milwaukee, which rocked Roy Oswalt for six runs in the right-hander's worst outing in nearly two years.
Chris Capuano (2-2) returned from the disabled list and gave up four runs and four hits in five innings for the victory. Dan Kolb pitched a perfect ninth for his 17th save in 18 opportunities.
Houston's Jeff Kent had his team-record 25-game hitting streak snapped after going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts.
Major difference
Oswalt (4-5) had beaten the Brewers twice this season, giving up just two runs in 15 innings. But Milwaukee tripled that output in its big fifth inning, when the Brewers batted around in the inning and had six hits and five runs off Oswalt.
With the Brewers trailing 4-1, Craig Counsell led off with a single and pinch-hitter Jeff Liefer doubled to right. Scott Podsednik then placed a drag bunt perfectly between Oswalt and first baseman Jeff Bagwell to score Counsell. Junior Spivey singled to right to drive in Liefer.
With two outs, Keith Ginter doubled to right to score Podsednik and Spivey and give the Brewers a 5-4 lead. Ben Grieve followed with an RBI single.
Oswalt left after hitting Chad Moeller with a pitch, one of two batters he hit in the game. Pete Gallo came in and walked Counsell to load the bases before striking out Liefer to end it.
