BREWERS TAKE 2 OF 3 FROM CARDS, SERIES REVIEW
Despite losing to St. Louis 5-2 on Sunday, the Brewers did win another series against the Cardinals. If you would have told me that the Brewers would be over .500 after their first 19 games against St. Louis, Houston, San Francisco and Arizona I would have been very pleased with that. Here the Brewers are at 10-9 and playing solid baseball.

Ben Sheets, despite taking the loss Sunday did not walk a batter again. The last time he walked a batter was his first start of the season on opening day. Chris Saenz made his MLB debut Saturday afternoon and spun 6 1/3 of shutout ball to get his first win.

Keith Ginter hit a homerun Sunday. This guy has got to get into the lineup on a regular basis. I know he would be a liability defensively in RF, so that probably isn't an option. Junior Spivey played some CF last year so I would guess that playing RF wouldn't be too much of a stretch, but is still something that the Brewers aren't probably going to consider. Hopefully Ben Grieve starts swinging the bat a little and then the need for another bat in the lineup won't be so strong.

Cincinnati comes to town for three games now. The Reds got rained out today but have been playing good baseball. I'll have the series preview for everybody tomorrow.
