    When Carlos Lee hit a three-run homer in the sixth inning Sunday, the Houston Astros were hopeful it could help pull the slugger out of his slump and get him back on track offensively.

    By the end of the next inning, Lee was on his way to the hospital with a ribcage injury that left Houston to deal with questions about when he'll be back on the field.

    Lee's shot provided the offense and Bud Norris combined with three relievers on a three-hitter in the Astros' 5-0 win over the Milwaukee Brewers.

    Jeff Fulchino, Fernando Abad and Mark Melancon combined for 1 1/3 hitless innings after Norris (2-1) left after 7 2/3 innings to hand Milwaukee its first shutout of the season.
