Ryan Braun had no idea what to expect in his first game after signing a $105 million contract extension that will keep him in Milwaukee for the next 10 years. Nearly overwhelmed with emotions after a huge ovation in his first at-bat, Braun hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the third inning to lift the Milwaukee Brewers over the Houston Astros 14-7 on Friday night. "I really don't think I could've scripted it much better, it was pretty cool," Braun said. "Definitely a special night for me individually and a great night for us as a team. A lot of guys contributed." Milwaukee scored in every inning but the first and eighth. Brewers ace Yovani Gallardo hit a solo home run off starter Nelson Figueroa (0-3) and Carlos Gomez added a three-run shot in the seventh. Gallardo (2-1) labored for a third straight start despite getting plenty of run support over his six innings. After allowing two runs in his first two starts, he's given up 15 in his past 16 1/3 innings.
