Win Expectancy Graph
SB Nation Coverage

The first inning saw a big answer to the Dodgers win from last night. Craig Counsell hit a triple. Ryan Braun got to second on a fielder's choice and an error by Rafael Furcal, gaining an RBI in the process. Prince Fielder hit a single and batted in Braun, leaving the Brewers leading 2-0.

The game was pretty uneventful until the bottom of the third, when Prince Fielder stole second. In the bottom of the fourth, Frank Catalanotto hit his first home run as a Brewer to deep right center. JJ Hardy then tripled to deep center field. Mike Burns got his first major league hit and RBI, allowing Hardy to score, but tried to push a single into a double at the wrong time. Nevertheless, the strength of the Brewers bats led to the Dodgers replacing pitcher Jeff Weaver with Scott Elbert, who hadn't pitched since the end of April.

At the top of the fifth inning, the Dodgers showed that they were paying attention. Rafael Furcal and Andre Ethier both homered to deep right, racking up three runs total. At the top of the sixth, Mike Burns was pulled and replaced with Seth McClung. In the top of the eighth, Todd Coffey struck out three batters in a row, retiring the side.

It didn't end up being a game without Hart. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Corey Hart came in to pinch hit for Frank Catalanotto. The Dodgers answered that substitution with their own, bringing in former Brewer Guillermo Mota. Hart struck out, but JJ Hardy hit a 2 RBI double, tacking on two insurance runs. In the top of the ninth, Hells Bells himself came in to pitch. No bells were heard, though, since the three batters up all hit ground outs.

Sweet

sounds like I missed a good one. Who would have thunk that Cat could actually hit a home run?

Coffey is surprisingly fast, as is the Polish Sausage

Hardy coming around...

… a big second half from him would go a long way to keeping us in the division race.

It would also really help my fantasy team…

It is my understanding the first time goes easier with rally cleavage. Or is that pie and punch?

Just to be safe, you should probably have all three.

Good pitchers matchup tomorrow

in the sun/shadow fun that is a Miller Park day game. Let’s hope Gallardo has his command.

Correct me if I'm wrong

But isn’t Yo normally even more awesome during game days? I look forward to tomorrow either way

Stetter

this boy kicks azzz, what seems to be the malfunction of not letting this guy go at least 1 if not 2-3 innings?
