Brewers (9) @ Reds (6) 7/16 -- Tastes Great, Less Filling
Tastes Great:
Braden Looper--Going 3 for 3 is what allowed him to end up here, because he really wasn't very sharp on the mound. Only went 5 1/3 innings, but walked 5 and gave up 7 hits. Made some pitches when he had to to "only" give up 3 runs though. Really needed to be able to finish out that 6th inning.
Prince Fielder--Someone apparently forgot to tell Prince the Home Run Derby ended, as he picked up right where he left off.
Bottom of the order--Cameron, Hart, and Hardy (three much maligned guys earlier this year) combined for 6 his and 4 RBI's.
Trevor Hoffman--After struggling a bit heading into the break, a solid save to start the second half.
Less Filling:
Seth McClung--"Big Red" (more like "Big Wuss") was the only thing preventing the Brewers from a comfortable win. Couldn't find the strike zone early, then had to groove pitches. Not surprisingly it got killed.
