Manny Parra was on the mound for the Crew on Friday as he took on Chad Billingsley of the LA Dodgers. The Brewers started off Hot when Gabe Kapler hit a 2 run home run in the top of the 1st inning. The Dodger's scored a run in the bottom of the 1st. The Brewers got that run back in the bottom of the 2nd to get the lead back to 2. The Crew looked to be cruising with a 3-1 lead going to the bottom of the 4th, then the wheels fell off for Parra. Parra gave up 2 in the 4th and 1 in the 5th to end his night. Meanwhile Billingsley settled in and did not allow the Brewers to score again. Dodger slugger Russell Martin added a home run off of Carlos Villanueva in the 8th inning, and the Brewers were never able to recover. The Dodgers won game 1 of the series 5-3. Manny Parra fell to 9-6 on the season and the Cubs and Cardinals each gained a game on the Brewers.
Most Valuable Brewer: Gabe Kapler. Gabe hit his 7th home run of the year, and went 2-4. Gabe has been filling in for the injured Ryan Braun very well this week. Hopefully this consistent time hitting will help to be an even better pinch hitter for the Crew down the stretch.
