April 2008 - Milwaukee Brewers
Manager and GM Fritsche

7th April 2008

Game #2 – Milwaukee [0-1] (Y. Gallardo 0-0, 0.00 ERA) at Los Angeles Dodgers [1-0] (A. Reyes 0-0, 0.00 ERA)

After the shaky start against lefty Kershaw we would today stick to our standard lineup against righties:

SS C. Izturis - CF S. Victorino - LF R. Braun - 1B P. Fielder - 2B R. Weeks -
RF G. Gross - 3B B. Hall - C Johnny Estrada

Dodgers starter Reyes came to L.A. in exchange for 3B Betemit.

Game 2 started like a clone of Game 1 with the Dodgers taking an early lead through a homerun. We eventually took the lead thanks to four two out runs in the fifth. Gallardo had thrown already 100 pitches after five innings, so we had to rely on the bullpen. The bullpen looked sharped, but a naughty Prince Fielder error in the 7th allowed the Dodgers to tie the game at 6. With speedy Pierre leading the 9th of with a single, stealing 2nd and two sacrifice flies, the Dodgers also won this one by smallest all margins. It's no disaster to lose the first two games on the road. But I didn't like the relaxed approach some of my players showed. Most positive so far are Braun and Victorino. Tomorrow we have to avoid the sweep at all costs!

Milwaukee at Dodgers: 6-7

W: D. Lowe (1-0), L: S. Fujita (0-1)
BS: J. Capellan (1)
HR - R. Braun (1) / O. Saenz (1)
MoM: J. Pierre - 4-5, 3 R, 1 RBI, SB

Elsewhere:

The Marmots (4-2 over the Royals) and the Blizzards (9-2 at the Phillies) took both their first franchise victories in their second game.

We claimed World Series hero Brian Shouse of waivers from the Washington Nationals after we traded him there just a week ago. Shouse will pitch for AAA Nashville until one of our relievers begins to struggle.
