MILWAUKEE (AP) — Randy Wolf allowed four hits over eight sharp innings and the Milwaukee Brewers, under the watchful eye of a wayward hawk, beat the Houston Astros 4-1 on Sunday.
Rickie Weeks homered in his return after missing one game with a sprained left pinkie finger and Brandon Boggs also connected. Prince Fielder tripled for his NL-leading 21st RBI in the third inning while the bird settled in the outfield.
The roof at Miller Park was closed, but that didn’t stop a small hawk from grabbing everyone’s attention. The hawk attacked another bird in center field in the top of the third, then landed in shallow right field to watch the bottom of the half with Astros right fielder Hunter Pence giving it plenty of distance.
