Bush pitched eight innings and gave up two hits and one run.  That was a wonderful performance out of Bush as he picked up his third win of the season.  Somedays you just have everything working for you and that appeared to be the way for Bush.

Tim Dillard tried to finish the game in the ninth inning but gave up three hits including a two run home run to Overbay.  Dillard did record two outs in the inning but turned things over to David Riske who then loaded the bases and gave up a grand slam to Joe Inglett.  With the Blue Jays only one run down, the Brewers brought in Salomon Torres to record the final out of the game and secure the Brewers victory.

Russell Branyan once again went deep for a three run home run to lead the Brewers with two rbi.  Big daddy Prince Fielder was right behind him with two rbi including a inside the park home run.  Yeah you read that right, Fielder had a inside the park home run!  J.J. Hardy and Jason Kendall both had one rbi in the game as well for the brew crew.

Great series sweep for the Breweres.  They will now play the Baltimore Orioles this weekend.

The Brewers offense roughed up Randy Johnson for four four runs and one home run.  They then smoked two home runs off of Diamondbacks relief pitcher Max Scherzer in the eighth inning.

J.J. Hardy, Prince Fielder, and Ryan Braun all went deep for the Brewers.  Hardy and Braun both had two rbi while Fielder, Rickie Weeks, Joe Dillon finished the game with one rbi.

Seth McClung earned the win after throwing six innings.  he gave up six hits but only the one run in the game.  Great job by McClung as he improved to 3-2 on the season.

Tim Dillard and Brian Shouse pitched the final three innings without giving up a run.
