BREWERS 10, ARIZONA 6
The Brewers headed into the bottom of the 7th trailing Arizona 4-2 with Randy Johnson on the hill. By the time the Crew went out to the field in the top of the 8th they had sent 13 batters to the plate, scored 8 runs and chased the future Hall-of-Famer as well as Randy Choate.
Doug Davis and his super-imposed facial hair went 6 1/3 and got a no-decision. He allowed 5 hits, 3 ER, 2 BB and 6 Ks. Ben Ford came in with a 2-1 lead and served up a three-run homer to Danny Bautista (the runners on base were charged to Davis). Rule V pick Jeff Bennett came in and walked the first two batters he faced, recorded an out and then gave up a hit before being lifted for Luis Vizcaino. Vizcaino threw well and recorded the final 5 outs and struck out 2, bringing his ERA to 1.35.
This was the Brewers first time facing a left-handed starter this season, so it wasn't surprising to see Ben Grieve and Lyle Overbay get the night off. Junior Spivey continues to swing a hot bat, going 2-4 with a HR, 2 RBI and a walk. Keith Ginter and Brady Clark continue to do well in limited ABs. Ginter went 2-4 with a HR, 2B and 2 RBI while Clark went 2-3. Chad Moeller went 1-2 with two walks. Overall the Crew had 10 hits and walked six times.
The Brewers try to go for the sweep tomorrow afternoon when Wes Obermueller faces NL Rookie of the Year runner-up Brandon Webb.
