Brewers vs Braves Game 1, August 1st

The Brewers had 4 games of pent up frustration building after their embarrassing sweep at the hands of the Cubs. The Brewers needed to find a way to get back on the winning track. The solution, go down to Atlanta and take on the Braves. Jeff Suppan made his 3rd start since returning from the DL, and he had one of his best starts of the season. Suppan went 7 strong scoreless innings and giving up only 5 hits and walking 3 batters. Suppan also received the run support that he needed. The Brewers put up 6 runs in the first 3 innings behind a solo home run from Prince Fielder and a 2-run homer off the bat of Mike Cameron. The Brewers added 3 more runs in the 8th inning as they cruised to 9-0 victory. Let's hope the Brewers can keep this run going, and get out of Atlanta with a sweep.

Most Valuable Brewer: Prince Fielder, he has socked a home run in each of the last 3 games. Prince now has 23 on the year. Let's hope the big fella can stay hot and inspire some of the other Brewers to do the same.
