April 2008 - Milwaukee Brewers
Manager and GM Fritsche

21st April 2008

We can still finish April above .500, if we win all remaining games and avoid getting swept at Pittsburgh once more

Game #15 – Milwaukee [4-10] (M. Parra 1-1, 5.56 ERA) at Pittsburgh [3-11] (T. Gorzelanny 0-2, 5.09 ERA)

SS C. Izturis - LF S. Victorino - 3B R. Braun - 1B P. Fielder - CF B. Hall - 2B R. Weeks - RF F. Gutierrez - C H. Blanco

Holy Cow what a game. After committing two errors and a wild pitch in the 3rd the Pirates lead 6-2 and our hopes of avoiding the sweep were slim. But a great relief effort by Villanueva and Capellan gave our offense a chance to start a comeback. Even if we left the bases loaded with one out once again in the 7th, a two run shot by pinch hitter Gabe Gross gave us a one run lead in the 8th. But sadly we had to hand the ball to "closer" Cordero in the 9th just to see him give up a three run walk off homer to Ryan Doumit. Cordero wasted a game for the 3rd time in this young season.

Milwaukee at Pittsburgh: 8-10

W: K. Gryboski (1-0), L: F. Cordero (0-2)
H: M. Tejera (2), F. Osoria (1)
BS: F. Cordero (3), K. Gryboski (1)
HR - G. Gross (1) / R. Doumit (3)
MoM: R. Doumit 3/5, 1 R, 3 RBI, game winning homer

Elsewhere:

Houston's
CF Hunter Pence will miss up to four weeks with a damaged meniscus.
We share MLB's worst record (4-11) with the Atlanta Braves and the Pittsburgh Pirates who just swept us.
