Brewers vs Padres Game 1, August 12th

The Brewers traveled to Petco Park for a series with the San Diego Padres. Historically the Crew has really struggled on the West Coast and have been unable to produce a lot of runs. Tuesday night Jeff Suppan took on Cha Seung Baek. Suppan pitched very well early on, and Baek was perfect through 2 innings. Mike Cameron hit a solo home run in his old stomping grounds, in the 3rd inning. Cameron now has 19 home runs on the year, if only he had not missed the first 25 games of the year he would be over 20 already. Prince Fielder added a mammoth blast in the top of the 4th with runners on the corners. When Prince hit it he gave a look into the Brewers dug out, almost as if to see this is too easy, then trotted around the bases. Meanwhile Suppan was pitching very strong. Soup had made only 2 mistakes, unfortunately both of those mistakes were hit out of the ball park. In 8 strong innings of work Suppan gave up only 2 runs on 4 hits. Salomon Torres finally was able to come on for a save opportunity in the 9th and was perfect recording his 23rd save of the year.

Most Valuable Brewer: Mike Cameron, I mentioned that Petco Park was his old stomping grounds. Not only did he hit a home run, but his familiarity with the park really helped his play in center field.
