BREWERS 7, METS 5
DOUG DAVIS (2-2) out dueled TOM GLAVINE to end the Brewers' two game losing streak. Davis went 6 2/3 IP, 6 hits, 2 runs (all earned), 1 walk and 5 strike outs. Davis had been walking an awful lot of batters so far this year, so it was nice to see him have good control last night. If you're a poo-slinging lefty, you better be able to pound the zone, because throwing 83 mph fastballs to Major League hitters with 2-0 and 3-1 counts is just a recipe for disaster. BEN FORD came in to face one hitter and got the strike out, which was nice to see. DAVE BURBA pitched the final two innings and gave up a two-run homer in the ninth to make things interesting.
LYLE OVERBAY continues to be on a tear, he went 3-4 with a homerun, two doubles and a walk, driving in two. He is now hitting .336. KEITH GINTER hit his sixth homerun of the year, which leads the team. KG went 1-3 with two walks. SCOTT PODSEDNIK went 2-5 and stole his 16th base of the year. WES HELMS and CRAIG COUNSELL, who have both been slumping, had two hits each.
The Brewers will throw Adrian Hernandez this afternoon. Hopefully he continues the trend of "how the hell did that guy do so well" comments after relatively unknown guys start (Chris Saenz, Victor Santos).
