GAME LOG
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The Milwaukee Brewers have been giving out walks and giving away games. Jimmy Haynes put an end to both. Haynes did not walk a batter in winning his fourth straight road start as the Brewers beat the Minnesota Twins 5-3 to snap a five-game losing streak. "It definitely helps when you keep guys off base and don't give free passes," Haynes said. The Brewers walked 10 batters in Friday night's 9-6 loss at Minnesota, marking the sixth time this season they have reached double-digits in that category. "I was thinking about that (the walks) a little bit," Haynes added. "I just kept trying to battle." Milwaukee entered Saturday averaging 5.29 walks per nine innings and Saturday marked the first time since April 4 that a Milwaukee starter did not issue a walk. It was the first time since last Sept. 22 that the entire staff did not walk a batter. "Unbelievable," Milwaukee manager Davey Lopes said when given the statistics. "That's a great sign. That's the thing you're supposed to be doing out there." Haynes (7-4) allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings to improve to 5-1 on the road this season. He struck out one as Milwaukee won for the first time in five interleague games. "What I'll do is have him wear a road uniform at home," Lopes joked. "He doesn't have anything spectacular, but he kept us off the bases," Minnesota's Butch Huskey said. "He didn't let us get anything started." Marquis Grissom homered for Milwaukee and Geoff Jenkins drove in two runs. Bob Wickman pitched the ninth for his sixth save in seven opportunities. Matthew LeCroy and Cristian Guzman homered for the Twins, who had won three straight games. Mark Redman (4-1) lost for the first time in 20 career appearances, including eight starts. He allowed three runs and eight hits in seven innings, while striking out eight and walking two. "It was bound to happen," Redman said. "I only gave up three runs and that's about my ERA. That's a good way to lose." Minnesota, playing its eighth straight game against the National League, fell to 3-5 in interleague play. Grissom, who went 3-for-5, led off the fourth inning with a home run off Redman to make it 1-0. It was Grissom's second homer of the season. Geoff Jenkins hit a two-run single in the sixth to give Milwaukee a 3-0 lead. Minnesota cut the deficit to 3-1 in the sixth on Matt Lawton's RBI single. LeCroy hit a a 402-foot homer, his fifth, off Haynes in the seventh to make it 3-2. Santiago Perez hit a run-scoring single in the eighth off Hector Carrasco to make it 4-2. It was the rookie's first career RBI. Guzman homered off Valerio De Los Santos in the eighth to make it 4-3. It was Guzman's sixth home run. Jeromy Burnitz hit an RBI single in the ninth to make it 5-3. In an unusual play in the seventh, James Mouton hit a foul pop that appeared to be going into the stands. But, the ball hit the Metrodome roof and a speaker and stayed in play. Third baseman Corey Koskie caught the ball in foul territory after bumping into third-base coach Chris Speier, who thought the ball was going out of play.
