The Milwaukee Brewers scored single runs in the final four innings as they rallied and came back to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks by the score of 4-3 on Wednesday night. Mike Cameron delivered the game winning hit in the top of the ninth when he singled and Russell Branyan scored the go ahead and winning run. The Brewers are now up two games to one in the four game series and the final game will be played on Tuesday afternoon.
Cameron led the Brewers with two rbi as he also hit a solo home run in the seventh inning. J.J. Hardy had a rbi single to score Jason Kendall in the sixth inning and the other Pirates run came in the eighth inning when Rickie Weeks had a solo home run. It was nice to see the offense wake up and actually put some runs on the board as they appeared dead in the first five innings of the game.
David Riske who pitched the eighth inning recorded the win and is now 1-1 on the season. Riske did give up a run in the eighth inning as well. Salomon Torres earned his 15th save in the ninth inning. Brewers starting pitcher Seth McClung tossed 5 1/3 innings and gave up eight hits and two runs to get a no decision.
The Brewers will try to take three games from the D-backs as they face off again on Thursday afternoon.
