Thursday afternoon the Brewers went for the sweep of the San Diego Padres. Ben Sheets took the mound for the Brewers and he took on the reigning NL Cy Young award winner Jake Peavy. To say it was a pitcher's duel early would be an understatement. Throughout the first 6 innings of play there was no score and only 3 hits between the 2 teams. The 7th inning was a different story. Mike Cameron singled in Bill Hall for a 1-0 lead, but that lead would be short lived. Ben Sheets faltered in the bottom of the 7th inning and would give up 3 runs. Despite a solo home run by Mike Cameron in the top of the 9th, the Brewers would fall to the Padres, and their win streak would be snapped at 8 games. Ryan Braun continued to be out of the line up today, but feels optimistic about returning to the starting lineup as the Brewers travel to LA for a weekend with the Dodgers. Let's start a new winning streak.
Most Valuable Brewer: Mike Cameron. Cameron went 2-4 with the Brewers only 2 RBI's and he hit is 20th home run of the year. Cameron also saved the Brewers a run when he went up and robbed a home run in center field.
