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.
