May 2008 - Milwaukee Brewers
Manager and GM Fritsche

18th May 2008

The Rivas trade with the Yankees broke down.
So we travel to Ohio where we face the Reds in another key division series. They are doing ok so far this season, but post a 10-5 record at home. Their 3.84 team ERA is good for third in the NL; while our 3.95 ERA ranks us fourth in this category.

Game #40 – Milwaukee [21-18] (C. Capuano 4-1, 3.59 ERA) at Cincinnati [19-20] (A. Harang 3-3, 4.32 ERA)

SS A. Escobar - 2B R. Weeks - LF R. Braun - 1B P. Fielder - 3B B. Hall - RF G. Gross - CF S. Victorino - H. Blanco

An interesting game for the crowd as both teams opted for the long ball today. Shane Victorino began the scoring breaking out of his slump in the 2nd with a 2 run shot. For some time it seemed to be enough for us, as Capuano had a solid outing. But the Reds got also a two run shot in the 7th by Dave Ross. After Rickie Weeks hit a 467 ft shot in the 9th we thought the game is in the box. But Elmer Dessens couldn't record an out in the bottom of the ninth, leaving a mess to closer Fujita. But after walking the first batter he faced, our Japanese closer got help by a double play before striking out the final batter to record his 5th save.

Milwaukee at Cincinnati: 8-5

W: C. Capuano (5-1), L: A. Harang (3-4)
H: A. Embree (6)
S: S. Fujita (5)
HR - S. Victorino (4), R. Weeks (4) / D. Ross 2 (9), A. Dunn (11)
MoM: D. Ross - 2/4, 2 R, 2 HR, 4 RBI

Our SS Cesar Izturis went 3 from 3, with 2 walks and a stolen base. His batting average rose to .368 - 3rd best in the National League.

We are now tied for the division lead with the Cubs. The Blizzards follow one game behind.
