Padres vs Brewers Game 4, September 7th

For Brewer fans this games was one to forget, for Padre fans it is on to remember. It was not pretty as Manny Parra took on Chris Young of the Padres. The action picked up in the top of third inning. Parra should have been out of the inning, but key errors by Bill Hall and JJ Hardy kept the inning a live and the wheels fell off for Para. He gave up 5 runs in the inning, none of which were earned. Manny also allowed a solo home run in the 5th inning and would be pulled after 5 innings of work. Meanwhile Chris young was working on a perfect game that was broken up by Gabe Kapler when he homered of Young with 2 outs in the 8th inning. David Riske gave up 4 earned runs in the 7th inning. The only positive from this game is that Mat Gamel, Angel Salome and Alcides Escobar all got an at bat during the 9th inning. The Brewers fell to the Padres 10-1.

Most Valuable Brewer: Mat Gamel, who recorded his first big league hit, which happened to be a double. His career batting average is now .500 and his career OPS is .1500. I get the feeling this kid will be winning more MVB's in the future.
