I know we can do it.

Maybe it's true that not all of Doug Davis' starts this season have been pretty. He stalls between pitches. He ranks second in the National League in walks. He throws 17.3 pitches per inning, fourth-most among NL starters.

But the bottom line is that he wins.

Davis has won his last three starts and his last four decisions, and the Brewers are 16-10 in his 26 starts this season. The lefty will try to win another on Sunday, when the Brewers wrap up their four-game series against the Astros and Roger Clemens.

On Tuesday at Pittsburgh, Davis worked seven innings and was charged with three runs for his first quality start since July 14 at Arizona.

Clemens wasn't the vintage Rocket in his last outing on Aug. 15, surrendering a season-high five runs on seven hits in six innings. Two of those hits were homers, including a three-run shot by Cubs right fielder Jacque Jones, who parked a pitch over the center-field wall at Minute Maid Park. In his first start of the season against the Brewers, Clemens will be trying for career win No. 346.

With a win, the Brewers would win back-to-back series for the first time since June 12-16, when they took two of three from the Reds and swept the Indians.

"It's been a while," Saturday's winning pitcher Dave Bush said. "The last month or so, we've kind of been idling. But luckily, a lot of teams around us are doing the same thing."

Pitching matchup
MIL: LHP Doug Davis (9-6, 4.97)
The Brewers have scored at least six runs in five of Davis' last six starts.

HOU: RHP Roger Clemens (4-4, 2.71)
Clemens has limited right-handed hitters to a puny .174 batting average this season.

Player to watch
Corey Hart went 2-for-4 on Saturday and has hit safely in each of his last six games (8-for-26, .308). The Brewers plan to take a long look at Hart over the remaining weeks of the season.
