One out later, TonyGwynn Jr. doubled and moved to third in a single by Vargas. Hart followed with a fly ball to right field, plating Gwynn withwhat proved to be the winning run. That proved to be enough for Vargas (7-2), who yielded two runs,five hits and three walks in improving to 5-0 at home. Therighthander is now 2-1 in five career games against theDiamondbacks. Brian Shouse pitched a hitless sixth and Carlos Villanueva wenttwo innings, including working out of a bases-loaded jam in theeighth by striking out Miguel Montero.

Vargas, Brewers rally to win fourth straight <h3>MILWAUKEE 3, ARIZONA 2</h3>MILWAUKEE (Ticker) -- When the Milwaukee Brewers see ClaudioVargas starting a home game, they know victory is at hand. Vargas pitched five effective innings and Tony Graffaninosparked a two-run fourth with a leadoff homer as the Brewersposted a 3-2 win Tuesday over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Johnny Estrada drove in his team's first run and Cory Hartsnapped a 2-2 with a sacrifice fly for Milwaukee, which won itsfourth straight and improved to 9-0 in Vargas' starts at MillerPark this season. It also was the club's fourth straightone-run victory, matching a club record established on sixprevious occasions. "They're fun to play," Estrada said. "They're nerve-racking forthe fans and for our manager at times, but they're fun to playin, especially when you're pulling out Ws. "Our young guys have been unbelievable this season. They don'tshow any signs of being tight or nervous or anything like that.There's enough veteran presence to keep things loose." Arizona has lost three straight and dropped a season-high sevenconsecutive games on the road. With the Brewers trailing, 2-1, in the fourth, Graffanino ledoff the frame by belting a 2-0 pitch from Arizona starterYusmeiro Petit over the center field wall. Brewers manager Ned Yost intimated before the game that regularsecond baseman Rickie Weeks, mired in a 9-for-61 slump sincereturning from the disabled list on May 31, likely would see hisplaying time reduced in favor of Graffanino and fellow veteraninfielder Craig Counsell. "The best thing, honestly, would be for Rickie to get hot," saidGraffanino, adding that he wasn't certain of the newarrangement. "Hopefully, he'll work this out and startswinging." One out later, Tony Gwynn Jr. doubled and moved to third on asingle by Vargas. Hart followed with a fly ball to right field,plating Gwynn with what proved to be the winning run. The support was enough for Vargas (7-2), who yielded two runs,five hits and three walks in improving to 5-0 at home. Therighthander is now 2-1 in five career games against theDiamondbacks. Brian Shouse pitched a hitless sixth and Carlos Villanueva wenttwo innings, including working out of a bases-loaded jam in theeighth by striking out Miguel Montero. "A couple of heart attacks, but everything worked out good,"Villanueva said. "I was talking to Yovani (Gallardo) after thatinning, that we need to win a game by 10 runs so we can rest alittle bit. "But these games have a playoff-like atmosphere. It feels likeit, and it's important to win these one-run games. These arethe games that are going to count in late September, so we'lltake them." Closer Francisco Cordero yielded a two-out infield single byOrlando Hudson in the ninth but retired Eric Byrnes to notch hismajor league-leading 30th save in 33 chances. Arizona took the lead in the first inning as RBI singles byByrnes and Chad Tracy staked it to a 2-0 advantage. "We had opportunities, and we've had opportunities in a lot ofgames," Arizona's Tony Clark said. "We're not swinging the batswhen we need to. It's a shame to waste good pitching. "Some way or another, we have to find a way to make anadjustment here, starting July 17, and move forward. I'd liketo think that we're resilient enough to come in tomorrow and tryto find a way to get the job done." An inning later, the Brewers got on the board when All-StarPrince Fielder led off with a four-pitch walk and scored on adouble by Estrada. Petit (1-2) allowed three runs - two earned - and eight hits infive innings. The righthander walked three and struck out two. Byrnes had three hits for the Diamondbacks, who have lost nineof 12 here.
