The Brewers' world is upside down

Francisco Cordero lost his second straight save last night and Geoff Jenkins was the team hero.

The game wasn't televised, so I can't tell you much, other than it was 6-6 going into extra innings. The Rangers scored those runs on 10 hits. We scored them on 20 hits. We left guys stranded all over the field - 17 in all. We ended up with 9 runs on 22 hits.

Geoff Jenkins hit a three-run homer in the 12th to lead the team to victory. Apparently Ryan Braun reached second on a error and Corey Hart singled off someone's leg.

The Brewers looked to have gained the lead in the 10th, but Tony Gwynn Jr. was called out at the plate.

From jsonline.com: "The Brewers caught another of many bad breaks in the top of the 11th when Johnny Estrada led off with his fourth hit of the night. Tony Gwynn pinch-ran and moved to second on Bill Hall's sacrifice bunt. Tony Graffanino then rapped his fourth hit of the night to center, and centerfielder Kenny Lofton came up throwing.
Replays showed that Gwynn got his hand down on the plate a split-second before catcher Adam Melhuse tagged him on the arm, but home plate umpire C.B. Bucknor saw the bang-bang play otherwise and called Gwynn out."

Go figure, one of the more exciting games of the season and it wasn't televised here.
