MILWAUKEE -- The Milwaukee Brewers roughed their old teammate, Zack Greinke, handing the right-hander his first loss at Miller Park. Carlos Gomez hit a go-ahead two-run double, Jonathan Lucroy tied a career high with three hits and five Milwaukee relievers combined for five scoreless innings as the Brewers beat Greinke and the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-2 Tuesday night. Mike Fiers (1-2), Michael Gonzalez, John Axford, Brandon Kintzler and Jim Henderson pitched Milwaukee to only its fourth victory in its last 19 games by allowing four singles. Henderson threw the ninth for his ninth save, striking out pinch-hitter Scott Van Slyke with runners on first and second. "When the bullpen comes together like that and shuts those guys out for the rest of the game, even though their record isnt that great, thats a good hitting team," said Fiers, who got out of a bases-loaded jam with one out in the fourth. "We definitely did a great job coming out of the pen." Greinke (2-1), making his second start since returning from a broken left collarbone, gave up season highs of nine hits, five earned runs and three walks in four-plus innings against his former team. The right-hander, traded by the Brewers to the Los Angeles Angels last July 27 before signing with the Dodgers in the off-season, had won his first 15 decisions in Milwaukee. "I didnt think about it at all," Greinke said. "Everything was bad, not just command. Just no feel out there, no adjustments to be made. Started out bad. I got out of some jams early but never really got better." Greinke gave up four runs in the fourth by allowing hits to the first five batters. Jean Segura led off with a triple over the head of right fielder Andre Ethier and came home to tie the score at 2-2 on a single by Ryan Braun. Singles by Aramis Ramirez and Lucroy loaded the bases for Gomez, who gave Milwaukee a 4-2 lead with a ground-rule double over the left field wall. "Zacks a great teammate," Gomez said. "I faced him when he was in Kansas City and he really had my number. So we had that conversation (when Milwaukee was in Los Angeles at the end of April) and I said, I want to face you, now. And he said, all right, but Im going to do the same. Im going to strike you out. He probably laughed at my first at-bat (a strikeout). But I continued to look for good pitches to hit. He threw me one and I hit a double." Matt Guerrier replaced Greinke and gave up a run-scoring grounder to Yuniesky Betancourt that increased the lead to 5-2. Milwaukees rally ended when Gomez was picked off third by Guerrier before Jeff Bianchi was caught stealing second. Brewers starter Hiram Burgos lasted only 3 1-3 innings, as the rookie right-hander gave up two earned runs, six hits, four walks and struck out three. "It sure would be nice to get into the seventh inning with some of our starters," said Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke. "Our pitch count is going up way too fast. He got himself into trouble but made some pitches to get out of it." Lucroys two-out single in the first gave Milwaukee a 1-0 lead. Los Angeles went ahead in the fourth on run-scoring singles by Greinke and Nick Punto. However, the Dodgers left 14 runners on base, including nine in the first five innings, to lose for the seventh time in their last eight road games. "Thats really kind of been the story as far as our offence has been concerned," Los Angeles manager Don Mattingly said. "We had the right people up in the right spots. We had our chances. We just werent able to do it." NOTES: All 10 of the Dodgers hits were singles. . Milwaukee won for just the second time in its last nine home games. ...

When filmmaker and author Molly Schiot typed women and sports into Amazon?last year, the first three results were a Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit Edition anthology and two academic books about the limitations of female participation in organized athletics.Schiot was disappointed (but not surprised) by the dearth of books about the lives and careers of female athletes. So she decided to change the results.Now Game Changers: The Unsung Heroines of Sports History, Schiots new best-selling book about the women and girls who have changed the male-dominated face of sports, is doing just that.Based on her wildly popular Instagram account @TheUnsungHeroines, Game Changers (released in October) features pictures and stories of female athletes from around the world, as well as referees, journalists and the people who spearheaded Title IX.The authors first book is a thoughtful, exhaustively researched and long-overdue tribute to the women who have paved the way for the likes of Serena Williams, Abby Wambach, Simone Biles and more.Schiot spoke with espnW about the inspiration behind the release, the importance of sharing diverse stories and how social media helped her change the face of sports.espnW: How did you go about developing the @TheUnsungHeroines Instagram account? Molly Schiot: I was doing some research in hopes of pitching a few ideas about female athletes to a sports network. I wanted them to be part of a documentary series. I started gathering these stories and pitching them, and none of them really got off the ground. I got really frustrated ... and I kept finding story after story, [but there was] no public space for these women to be seen. Then I was like, No one is going to green light these ideas; I might as well just figure it out myself. So I started the IG account to give these stories a platform.espnW: At what point did you decide to translate the account into a book? MS: I had done maybe about 100 posts and then, just through a couple different connections, I got in touch with this really radical woman named Erin Hosier, who works at the Dunow, Carlson & Lerner literary agency. So she and I put together a pitch for the book, and the one thing that wed say to each other all the time is, Seriously how has this book not been made before?espnW: Many of the women in this book were big stars in their era but arent household names now. Why have so many of their legacies been lost over time? MS: Thats the sort of thing where I want to walk out my front door and just stick my middle fingers up into the air and say, Hey everyone, these stories have always been there, but nobodys telling them! There is nobody that is approving or writing these stories or nobody in positions of power whos saying, Hey, we really need to tell this story. You can say how have we never heard these womens names before, but why would we? You see documentary stories about male athletes [all the time], and everyone knows the intricacies of every mens sports team out there. People know those stories because theyre being told.espnW: The book also touches on gender and race discrimination, transmisogyny,, homophobia, domestic violence and the financial hardships these?female athletes faced.dddddddddddd How much of that was an intentional part of making the publication diverse? MS: It was definitely really important and, lets face it, a lot of times the most interesting stories are the ones that are of adversity, struggle and oppression. So I think it was pretty easy for me because I didnt want a book that was just about stats.I wanted something inspiring -- whether it was [Japanese mountaineer] Junko Tabei, who became the first woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest in [1975], or [Mexican hurdler Enriqueta Basilio], who in 1968 became the first woman in history to light the Olympic torch. Theres also the [African-American] women from Wake-Robin Golf Club in Washington, D.C. -- they actually had to build their golf course on a trash dump [in 1939].I honestly feel like you could take any of these stories and turn them into a film, and it would have all of the components of a really incredible movie.espnW: Do you think the world is evolving? Are women in sports going to be more celebrated and valued?MS: I definitely think that its changing. There have been really inspiring women that have started to make their mark in social media. Theres this Instagram account called ShePlaysWeWin, and its this photographer named Christin Rose and she has kind of dedicated her Instagram account and her photography to celebrating young girls confidence through sports.Theres another IG account:?Girl IsNota4LetterWord thats run by this pro skater named Cindy Whitehead, and she is a huge advocate for young girls that want to be skateboarders. And she sponsors them and just gives them a platform where they feel really special.I think that thats really important. Because when I grew up I feel like I had no role models that were women. I wanted to be like Tom Cruise in Top Gun or Sylvester Stallone in Rocky or Daniel (Ralph Macchio) from The Karate Kid. You think about 80s movies, and theres no women in places of power. Now girls can have their own role models.espnW: Lastly, tell me about the cover of Game Changers, which features a photograph of American sprinter Wilma Rudolph. Why her?MS: When I was doing this book I came across a Jezebel article about Marley Dias, the 11-year-old from Jersey that started the #1000BlackGirlBooks movement. It was so interesting [to me] because my foreword is so much about how I had no role models and that all of my role models were men, and her interview was about the fact that she was always so frustrated because she was tired of seeing books about white boys and their dogs. And then she started that social media campaign.I was just thinking about her when I was doing the cover, and I thought that the [photo of Wilma Rudolph would be] really strong. Its super powerful and Im really grateful that I got that on the front.Ann-Derrick Gaillot writes about sports culture, pop culture, and so much more. Find her on Twitter at @methodann ' ' '
