The Milwaukee Brewers and Houston Astros played home run derby down in Houston on Wednesday night and it was the Brewers coming out on top with a 10-6 victory.  The Brewers hammerd five home runs in the game while the Astros hit three.  It was definaly not a night you wanted to be on the mound pitching that is for sure.

Corey Hart led the Brewers with two - two run home runs and four rbi in the game.  Hart went deep in the fourth and eighth innings.  Jason Kendell was next in line with a two run homer in the fifth inning as he finished the game with two rbi.  Russell Branyan and Mike Cameron both hit solo home runs in the fourth inning as they had one rbi each in the game.  Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder both chipped in with one rbi each as well.

On the mound for the Brewers, Manny Parra earned the win and is now 5-2.  He only pitched 5 1/3 innigns as he gave up ten hits and five runs.  Parra was taken deep three times for home runs as he couldn’t keep the ball inside the field of play.  A win is a win and Parra will take it any way he can get it.

Carlos Villanueva pitched 1 2/3 innings after Parra exited the game and he gave up three hits and one run.  Guillermo Mota was called upon to pitch the final two innings of the game and did not have any problems as he didn’t allow a hit or a run.
