The Brewers took the lead in the first as, with two men on, and with one man out, Prince Fielder hits a three-run bomb to right, his thirtieth home run of the year, knocking in Corey Hart, who had earlier singled, and then went to third on Ryan Braun’s double, and Braun, who had just doubled, to give the Brewers a 3-0 lead. The Phils got back into the game in the second as, with two men on, and with one man out, Carlos Ruiz hits a two-run double, scoring Jayson Werth, who had earlier doubled, then went to third on Ben Francisco’s single, and Francisco, who had earlier singled, making it a 3-2 Brewers’ lead. The Brewers added to their lead in the third as, with one man on, and with nobody out, Hart hits an RBI double, knocking in Rickie Weeks, who had earlier singled, making it a 4-2 Brewers’ lead. The Brew Crew then made it 5-2 in the fourth as, with a runner on second, and with two men out, Weeks hits an RBI single, scoring George Kottaras, who had earlier doubled. The Brewers would add an insurance run in the ninth as, with two men on, and with two men out, Lorenzo Cain hits an infield single and a catch error by Ryan Howard when he was unable to hold on to Chase Utley’s throw, allowing Braun, who had earlier singled, and then moved up to second on Casey McGehee’s single, to score, giving the Brewers a 6-2 lead. That would end up being the final score as John Axford would pitch a 1-2-3 ninth, getting Jimmy Rollins to end the game with a ground out, 4-3.
Kyle Kendrick took the lost as he pitches only four innings, giving up five runs on seven hits and a walk, while he would strike out two. His record is now 9-8 with a 4.89 ERA. David Herndon, Antonio Bastardo and Chad Durbin would combine for three scoreless innings, giving up two hits (Herndon (1), Bastardo (1)) and two walks (Herndon (1), Durbin (1)), while striking out four (Herndon (1), Bastardo (2), Durbin (1)), between them. Scott Mathieson pitches an inning, plus two batters, giving up an unearned run on two hits and two walks, while striking out a batter. Jose Contreras pitches an inning, giving up two hits. Randy Wolf gets the win as he pitches six and two-thirds innings, giving up two runs on seven hits and two walks, while he strikes out five. His record is now 11-10 with a 4.68 ERA. Zach Braddock records his eleventh hold of the year as he pitches a third of an inning, getting out the only man that he would face. John Axford records his twentieth save of the year as he pitches two innings, walking two batters, while striking out one.
The Phils had seven hits in the game, with Chase Utley leading the team with two hits, both singles, Jimmy Rollins, Placido Polanco, Jayson Werth, Ben Francisco and Carlos Ruiz had the other five Phils’ hits, with Rollins, Polanco and Francisco’s hits being singles, while Werth and Ruiz’s hits were doubles, with Ruiz knocking in the Phils’ two RBIs. The Phils’ offense still need to find some way to get itself started.
