Milwaukee Brewers 8 Cincinnati Reds 1 Rapid Response

The Milwaukee swept the Reds with a 8-1 victory today.

Zack Grienke pitched a dominant seven innings, with ten strikeouts, and only giving up two hits and one run. I love how the pitching staff is trying to 1-up each other.

Yuniesky Betancourt has had errors in three consecutive games.

Casey McGeehe is hitless in his last 15 AB, and Taylor Green's hitless streak is at 10.

Schafer got his first hit! Roenicke must have been reading this blog.

How about the speed in the outfield in the 9th (Schafer, Gomez, Morgan). When Nyjer Morgan is your left fielder, you have got some speed.

Nice job by Gomez getting a two-hit game (including that homer). If he can provide any kind of offensive contribution at all (even a .240/.290/.400 type line) with the speed that he has, and his defensive skills, he can be a very dangerous weapon.

Aren't you glad that we have Braun for the rest of his career? 3/4 today raised his batting average to .336.
