July 2008 - Milwaukee Brewers
Manager and GM Fritsche
27th July 2008
Game #102 – Atlanta [54-47] (A. Lerew 4-5, 5.61 ERA) at Milwaukee [54-47] (C. Capuano 11-3, 3.60 ERA)
SS C. Izturis - CF S. Victorino - LF R. Braun - 1B P. Fielder - RF G. Gross - C J. Estrada - 3B M. Gamel - 2B O. Infante
Also Capuano had a rough time tonight and was almost out of the game after giving up five runs in three innings. But I decided to give him a bit more time and he rebounded going seven innings. In contrary to yesterday our offense was hot in this game and gave the Braves a good fight. We entered the ninth with a 6-9 lead, but Otsuka gave up a lead off home run leaving the game to closer Fujita. He gave up a base hit with one out and was somehow lucky when defensive replacement Cain caught what would have been the tying home run off the right field wall.
