Brewers (4) @ Diamondbacks (3) 7/2 -- Tastes Great, Less Filling
Tastes Great:
Seth McClung--Didn't have his best stuff, and gave up a lot of hard hit balls. But battled through 5 1/3 innings. Got helped out by some good defense and some bad baserunning by the D-Backs. These are the kinds of games that starters have to grind through sometimes.
JJ Hardy--Two more hits and his hitting streak has reached 13 games.
Mike Cameron--Had really been struggling lately, but came through big time in this game. Drove in the tying run in the 7th and the winning run in the 9th.
Rickie Weeks--Had missed the last couple games due to food poisoning, but came in and hit a pinch hit home run to put the Brewers up. Hopefully this jump-starts his season once again.
Late inning offense--After going over a week without scoring a run after the 6th inning or off a reliever, the Brewers scored a run in each of the last 4 innings in tonight's game.
Less Filling:
David Riske--Just seems to make a mistake every time out and it gets hit hard.
Offensive patience--Where was it? The Brewers hitters saw only 125 pitches in 9 innings (an average of only 13 per inning) while the D-Backs saw 156 pitches.
