The Brewers are attempting to beat two different teams on back-to-back days for just the second time since May and for the first time at home since April.
The weapons at their disposal are after the jump.
UPDATE: THIS IS A REMATCH OF THE AUGUST 9TH GAME THAT TOOK PLACE IN HOUSTON.
Yovani Gallardo is pitching in a night game. It's his thirteenth night start of the year against eleven day starts. At night, he has a 4.50 ERA in 76 innings, but a 7-4 record. In the day he's got a 2.52 ERA but is just 3-5. Pitch like it's day and win like it's night, Yovani. After giving up nine runs in 5 1/3 to the Dodgers, Gallardo came back with a good start against Houston his last time on the mound. A Geoff Blum home run was the deciding factor as he lost 2-0. It was the fourth time the Brewers offense couldn't score behind him (fifth if you count the game he won 1-0 on his own home run). Let's not make it five (six), guys.
Wandy Rodriguez has not allowed more than one run in a start since June. He has a sparking 0.77 ERA in his last seven starts and is averaging nearly seven innings per appearance in that time (4 ER in 47 innings). His last time out, he held the Brewers scoreless through seven innings despite having runners in scoring position in each of the first four innings. The last time he started in Miller Park, August 20 of last year, he took the loss having given up 3 runs in 5 1/3 innings.
Lineup:
2B Felipe Lopez
CF Mike Cameron
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
3B Casey McGehee
C Mike Rivera
RF Jason Bourgeois
P Yovani Gallardo
SS Alcides Escobar
A few lineup notes: Having blocked the Kendall-leading-off inbedumblity out of my mind, this is the first time I recognize the Brewers lineup batting a catcher as high as sixth since the days of Johnny Estrada (2007). It is the first time since the last two games of the 2006 season that Mike Rivera has started back-to-back games. It's also Jason Bourgeois' first major league start, so congratulations are in order.
Bullpen:
Trevor Hoffman pitched the ninth inning yesterday, picking up the save with just twelve pitches.
Todd Coffey threw 19 pitches on Wednesday.
David Weathers threw 34 pitches and allowed three runs, one earned, on two hits and two walks in just 2/3 of an inning yesterday.
Mitch Stetter picked up a hold for getting one batter out on three pitches yesterday.
Mark DiFelice threw 21 pitches in 1 1/3 innings yesterday, striking out two in the process.
Claudio Vargas threw 1 2/3 innings and 26 pitches on Wednesday
Jesus Colome last pitched Tuesday with a bruised finger, recording five out with 23 pitches.

If Rivera doesn’t hit 2 HRs, how long until we see him in the starting lineup again? No pressure.

Usually when you think of striking out the side...
you think, “Boy that pitcher was dominant.” But that is apparently not the case here.
So that begs the question, what is the most runs given up in an inning where the pitcher struck out the side?

by Bush League All Star on Aug 14, 2009 7:34 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
As I understand it, probably 0
striking out the side is getting “all 3 batters” out via strikeout, thus if you face more then three batters you can no longer strike out the side because obviously a bunch of guys did not, in fact, strike out.
the only loop hole is if a batter strikes out on a wild pitch, and thus advances to base based on that wild pitch, so the pitcher would then get to strike out the side by facing four batters…
for a run to score while striking out the side? it’d have to be quite the combination of a few errors, really bad defense and wild pitches

you're thinking of 3 up 3 down

striking out the side just means all players retired were via K.

Eagle River, Fish, Rock is an angry old man that will sit silently with you uncomfortably on a boat for half a day, but totally enter the contest anyway, old guy in white shirt babbling on because FSN clearly did not expect that inning to last half as
long as it did, BA trying to be funny and pretending to care about said fish.
But, looking at the box score, apparently the stros didn’t score, so it was worth it?
