MILWAUKEE -- Victor Santos finally had some margin for error Tuesday night.

Carlos Lee drove in four runs, three on a first-inning homer that gave Santos the cushion he would need on a night where his off-speed pitches were off-target, and Milwaukee's tough-luck right-hander rode his rare run support to a 6-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies.

"I had a feeling we were going to score some runs today," Santos said after snapping his four-game losing streak.

After going 0-3 this month despite a 3.00 ERA and four straight quality starts, Santos finally got some breathing room when Lee connected off rookie left-hander Jeff Francis (4-2), sending a 1-0 pitch high into the left-field stands for his 10th homer.

"You feel a little more comfortable" with an early lead, said Santos (2-4), who allowed one run and six hits in six innings, striking out six in his first win at Miller Park since Sept. 21.


Ehhh we suck.
