Rickie Weeks, Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder didn't have much help from their offensive teammates tonight, but they led the Brewers to a win anyway with one solo home run each. This was the sixth time in franchise history where the Brewers have won a game while scoring three or more runs, all on solo home runs:
Date | Opponent | HR | Final Score |
9/2/2002 | Cubs | 4 | 4-2 |
7/23/1989 | Twins | 4 | 4-1 |
Tonight | Reds | 3 | 3-2 |
7/30/2000 | Rockies | 3 | 3-2 |
6/18/1976 | Athletics | 3 | 3-2 |
4/20/1974 | Tigers | 3 | 3-1 |
The 1989 game featured home runs from four different batters: Glenn Braggs, Robin Yount, Rob Deer and Greg Brock. The 2000 game might have been the most unlikely: Geoff Jenkins, Jeromy Burnitz and pitcher Jeff D'Amico hit the homers.
The 2002 game might be the most interesting, though: It was game one of a doubleheader. The Brewers also hit three home runs in the second game, but lost 17-4.
