Milwaukee's offensive surge continued last night in Minneapolis with 4 home runs. However, that proved to be not enough against M&M and the Twins. Joe Mauer's blast in the 8th inning sealed his teams fate, giving the Twins their 10th straight win and Milwaukee losing streak hits....2. Milwaukee is just plain bad on Friday night games, which happens to be the night of the week where I buy a 12-pack of Lite and either listen/watch the game or attend in person.
Seth McClung struggled early and often for Milwaukee giving up 5 earned runs, 9 hits, and 2 home runs. Even more concerning was the continuing struggles of Guellermo Mota (2-5) who gave up the game winning home run to Mauer, earning him the loss. Nevertheless, Milwaukee's pitching has been lights out as of late (excluding Soup). Hopefully this was a slight glitch.
Prince Fielder continued his slump by going O'fer and his batting average dipped to .274, despite blasting home runs last Sunday. Keep in mind he was hit less in the series down in Atlanta.
Corey Hart belted his 13th and 14th home runs last night. Someone please tell me why he is not getting any All Star votes?
Ryan Braun had 2 doubles (21). Meanwhile Derek Jeter had his 400th career double yesterday.
-As called by yours truly...Chicago Cubs lost to the White Sox yesterday. I will call the same for todays game.
-Melvin okay with Sheets' free-agent talks. Really, it's a non-issue. Sheets would be foolish NOT TO check out what other teams offer.
