The Brewers pleasant surprise Manny Parra took the mound on Wednesday in search of his 10th win of the season. The Brewers got off to a hot start in the first inning scoring 2 runs. The Brewers took a 3-0 lead in the 3rd inning when Prince Fielder got his second sacrifice fly of the game. The Brewers gave up 2 runs in the top of the 5th, but still lead 3-2. Manny Parra's night ended after the 5th giving up 6 hits and just 2 runs. Carlos Villanueva pitched 2 perfect innings, striking out 3. JJ Hardy added some much needed insurance runs when he blasted his 19th home run in the 7th inning. Eric Gagne pitched a very nice 8th inning to set up a save opportunity for Salomon Torres. Torres came on and pitched a perfect 9th inning on the way to his 24th save of the season.
Most Valuable Brewer: Rickie Weeks! Rickie was 0-1 at the plate, but walked 3 times and scored 3 runs. We need to see this type of production from our lead off hitter. Hopefully Rickie can get some confidence at the plate and get on base any way he can.
