Brewers edge Cleveland 3-2 on Tuesday night

In a game in which the Brewers' starting pitcher went down with an injury early, Milwaukee was able to hang on for a 3-2 win over Cleveland on Tuesday night.

Brent Suter starred as the first opposing pitcher to hit a home run off of Cleveland pitcher Corey Kluber, a solo home run to give the Brewers a 3-1 lead in the third inning. The home run was the first by a left-handed pitcher in nearly a decade (C.C. Sabathia in July of 2008).

Suter checked into the game after Wade Miley left with an oblique injury, and gave up two runs in 4 2/3 innings pitched.  From there, the bullpen didn't allow a walk or hit, and Josh Hader tossed three strikeouts in a six-inning save.

The series finale is at Miller Park on Wednesday.
