Brewers vs Braves Game 3, August 3rd

Once again the Brewers faced Jorge Campillo, and once again it did not end well for the Crew. Campillo was dominate has he pitched 7 innings of shut out ball. The Brewers sent Ben Sheets to the mind with hopes of sweeping the Braves and extended this win streak to 3. Sheets however gave up 2 runs in the first, and one more in the 5th. Ben would only pitch 6 innings giving up 3 runs (2 earned) and only striking out 4. The Brewers continued to struggle offensively as they managed to get 7 hits, but failed to plate any baserunners. The Brewers were shut out by the Braves 5-0.

Most Valuable Brewer: This was a hard game to find someone positive to praise, but Craig Counsell and Gabe Kapler went 2-4. Both players were given the chance to start and get some regular at bats. Both players made the best of their time, even though neither was able to drive in a run.
