Without Prince Fielder, the Milwaukee Brewers would have lost to the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday.  Good think Fielder was in the lineup and hit a home run in the 10th innin as the Brewers beat the Cardinals 5-3 in ten innings. 

Fielder finished the game with three RBI.  Ryan Braun and Hernan Iribarren each had one RBI.

Brian Shouse picked up the win as he pitched in relief.  Eric Gagne made things interesting in the bottom of the tenth inning but was able to close the door the on the Cardinals and pick up his fourth save of the season.

Starting pitcher Manny Parra pitched four innings and gave up five hits and three earned runs.

Great comeback win for the Brewers as they improve their record to 9-6 on the season.

The Milwaukee Brewers couldn’t quite come back against the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night as they lost 5-4.  The Brewers did score two runs int he top of the ninth inning but still lost by one run.  Sometime the Brewers will catch some breaks and win these one-run ballgames.

Carlos Villanueva took the loss for the Brewers after throwing 4.2 inning and allowing eight hits and five earned runs.  Other ten Villanuevea, the Brewers pitcher did a pretty good job.  Salomon Torres, Brian Shouse, and David Riske pitched 3.1 innings and did not allow a run and all did a good job.

Bill Hall, J.J. Hardy, and Craig Counsell all had one RBI for the Brewers.   I have to ask where was Prince Fielder though.  He is the player that should have stepped up and carried the Brewers to victory.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Dave Bush is off to a 0-3 start after Tuesday’s night game against the St. Louis Cardinals.  The Cardinals defeated the Brewers 6-1 after the Brewers had a 2-0 lead.  The Cardinals scored insurance runs in the seventh and eigth innings that put the game out of reach for the Brewers.

Bush pitched six innings and gave up six hits and three earned runs.  He now has a 7.02 ERA on the season so far.  Bush better pick things up before he loses his spot in the rotation.

David Riske only got two batters out and gave up an earned run on two hits.  Brian Shouse pitched .2 innings as well but did not allow a run to cross the plate.  Derrick Turnbow gave up four hits and two earned runs in his .2 innings of action.  Turnbow has really struggled this year.

Corey Hart was the only Brewers play to record a RBI.  Other then that, the Brewers had zero offense against the Cardinals.

Relieft pitcher Brian Shouse and the Milwaukee Brewers have come to terms on a one year $2 million contract.  Seems like a lot for a relieft pitcher that is 39 years old to be honest.  Last season Shouse pitched 47 2/3 innings and posted a 3.02 ERA.  Decent, but not two million dollars decent in my opinion.

Did the Brewers just sign him to have the arm in the bullpen and not worry about bringing a younger pitcher up from the minor leagues?  Can Shouse help the Brewers get into the playoffs on 2008?  Leavea a comment and let us know!
