Brewers vs. Rockies

The Brewers have won four of the past five, including the past two from the Rockies. Winning this afternoon's game would mean a sweep of the series, which hasn't happened in awhile.

I'm listening to the game on the radio, having a nice Bob Uecker afternoon.

It's another unconventional lineup, much like yesterday, though I've yet to hear if there's a reason (such as last night's catcher sucking against lefties).

It's a good start to the game as Bill Hall homered, then Geoff Jenkins singled, David Bell doubled, Damian Miller was intentionally walked.

Then on a weird play, Tomo Ohka went up to bat lefty (first time in his career) and he drew a catcher's interference call so that Jenkins scored.

Gabe Gross than doubled, scoring Bell and Miller.

So it was a 4 run second inning, showing this new-look Brewers that are stringing together hits and plays, getting on base and proving that they know how to score without the home run ball.

Update:
Tomo's making himself more and more useful, as he singles in the third, scoring two and bringing his RBI count for this game to 3.

It was a nice looking third as Bill Hall doubled, advanced to third on a Laynce Nix groundout and scored on a David Bell single.
Jenkins as intentionally walked (HA!) and was one of Ohka's RBIs. Damian Miller was hit by a pitch and was Ohka's other RBI.

It's now 7-2 Milwaukee in the 5th!
