Once again the Milwaukee Brewers and Houston Astros played home run derby down at Minute Maid Park in Houston.  The two teams combined for seven more home runs as the Brewers hit four and the Astros hit three.  At the end of the game the Brewers were ahead on the scoreboard by the score of 9-6.

Mike Cameron (9th), Gabe Kapler (5th) , Prince Fielder (11) , and Corey Hart (10) all went deep for the Brewers.  Hart finished with three rbi in the game and then six other Brewers had one rbi.  Cameron, Kapler, Fielder, Ryan Braun, Russell Branyan, and Bill Hall all finished the game with one rbi.

Brewers starting pitcher Ben Sheets didn’t have the outing that he was hoping for even though he did throw seven innings.  Sheets gave up seven hits and three runs while giving up two home runs in the “Juice Box”.  Guillermo Mota pitched the seventh inning and gave up two more runs in the game when he came in after Sheet exited.  Salomon Torres pitched the ninth inning and also had some trouble as he gave up one run.

Rickie Weeks went 2-4 and had a huge rbi triple in the eighth inning to score J.J. Hardy as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Atlanta Braves.  The Brewers only had three hits in the game and Weeks had two of them so they are very lucky to come away with the win.

Weeks was the main guy at the plate for the Brewers like we already mentioned.  He had two of the Brewers three hits.  The other player to record a hit in the game was Bill Hall.

Jeff Suppan tossed eight innings while only giving up four hits.  Suppan improved to 3-4 on the season with the win.  Salomon Torres pitched the ninth inning to record his fourth save of the season.
