MILWAUKEE - Chris Narveson struggled in the opening inning, but recovered to throw five innings and also drove in the go-ahead run as Milwaukee topped the Twins, 7-5, to open a three-game series.

Casey McGehee belted a three-run homer and Rickie Weeks added a solo shot for the Brewers, who have won two straight following a three-game skid.

Narveson (6-4) gave up three runs before even recording an out, but the left- hander lasted five innings, allowing five hits and three runs. John Axford pitched the final two innings for his fifth save.

Justin Morneau and Delmon Young each had two hits and two RBI for Minnesota, which won two of three games at Philadelphia over the weekend. Twins starter Scott Baker (6-6) was charged with nine hits and five runs over six innings. He had seven strikeouts.
