June 2008 - Milwaukee Brewers
Manager and GM Fritsche

3rd June 2008

The night after Omar Infante signed the new contract, head scout Dean came to my office and admitted that his new report on Infante is much worse than his original one. Dean's second blunder in less than a month. Like Yost he receives a yellow caution card and will be watched closely from now on.
Next up a trip to Turner Field where we face Dauis' Braves, who are like the Diamondbacks a very familiar team for us. The series will be another battle of potential playoff teams who struggle around the .500 mark.

Game #55 –
Milwaukee [28-26] (C. Capuano 5-2, 3.68 ERA) at Atlanta [26-28] (B. Thompson 2-1, 4.86 ERA)

2B O. Infante - CF S. Victorino - LF R. Braun - 1B P. Fielder - RF G. Gross - - C J. Estrada - 3B M. Gamel - SS A. Escobar

What happens when one team scores its only run due to a passed ball and the other collects 19 hits? Right complete domination. The poor Braves managed only two scoreless innings, while Mat Gamel was our only hitless starter. Chris Capuano threw a complete game and would have had a shutout, but Johnny Estrada denied him in the eigth inning.

Milwaukee at Atlanta: 11-1

W: C. Capuano (6-2), L: B. Thompson (2-2)
HR - C. Capuano (2), R. Braun (14)
MoM: C. Capuano - 9.0 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 6 K - HR, 2 RBI
