Wade vs. Kapler: Baltimore chop over the pitcher's head, and Kapler beat it out for a hit.

3:05 p.m.  2 Out
Wade vs. Gwynn: a broken bat bounce back to Wade for the easy 2nd out.

3:04 p.m.  1 Out
Corey Wade vs. Dillon: a too-short long fly to left makes it two outs to live.

Top 9th

2:59 p.m.  3 Out
Shouse vs. Ethier: bounce to Ricky, 4-6-3....thank you, Shousie!  If only you could hit five-run homers.

2:57 p.m.  1 Out, Bases Loaded
Stetter vs. Jones: Mitch walks the bases loaded - two outings in a row that his control stinks.  Shouse comes in.

2:53 p.m.  1 Out, Runner on 1st and 2nd
Stetter vs. Pierre: on a full count, a big K.

2:51 p.m.  Runner on 1st and 2nd

2:49 p.m.  Runner on 2nd
Los Angeles 7, Milwaukee 2
Stetter vs. Bennett: another liner to left, another extra base hit, scoring Maza after the ball caromed weird off the left field corner.

2:46 p.m.  Runner on 1st
Mitch Stetter vs. Maza: a full-count walk to start the inning.

Bottom 8th

2:42 p.m.  3 Out
Braxton vs. PH Craig Counsell (for the pitcher's spot after a double switch): Luis Maza takes in a slowly-hit ground ball and, while falling to the ground, delivers a perfect throw for an out.

Braxton vs. Fielder: a 3,915-pitch at bat turns into an opposite-field base hit.

2:34 p.m.  2 Out
Los Angeles 6, Milwaukee 2
Broxton vs. Braun: too little, too late, but still, a home run to dead center field.  So far, that's $45M/homer.  Uecker: "Ryan Braun won't have to worry about being unemployed for a while."

2:31 p.m.  2 Out
Los Angeles 6, Milwaukee 1
Broxton vs. Hardy:  5-4-3 double play by Martin, who's at 3rd to start it, but a run scores.

2:25 p.m.  Runner on 1st and 3rd
Billingsley vs. Weeks: a nice little walk...a nice little rally?  Torre brings in Jonathan Broxton to replace Billingsley who pitched magnificently.

2:24 p.m.  Runner on 3rd
Billingsley vs. Kendall: right now, a two-hit shutout turns into a three-hit shutout on what's a triple into the right field corner.

Top 8th

2:20 p.m.  3 Out
McClung vs. Martin: swingandamiss on a fastball...slider?  Whatever it was, it ends the inning.

McClung vs. Loney: worked hard for a walk.

2:13 p.m.  2 Out, Runner on 1st

McClung vs. Ethier: liner to left for a base hit in a morque-like Miller Park.

2:09 p.m.  1 Out
McClung vs. Jones: a big bouncer to short.

Bottom 7th

2:07 p.m.  3 Out

2:05 p.m.  1 Out, Runner on 1st
Billingsley vs. Gwynn: a short fly to left field, out at short by Hu.

2:04 p.m.  Runner on 1st
Billingsley vs. Dillon: a first pitch base hit to center to start the inning.

Top 7th

1:55 p.m.  1 Out
Los Angeles 6, Milwaukee 0

1:52 p.m.  1 Out, Runners on 1st and 3rd
Sheets vs. Maza: while McClung works in the pen, another base hit - left field, hit and run.  Ducks on the pond.  Five hits in the inning, just three previous to this today.

1:50 p.m.  1 Out, Runner on 1st
Los Angeles 3, Milwaukee 0
Sheets vs. Martin: ounder through a drawn-in infield for an RBI single.

1:49 p.m.  1 Out, Runner on 3rd
Sheets vs. Loney: Braun misplays a short fly to left, diving and missing it, and it goes to the wall, letting Loney lope around the bases to third for a triple.

1:48 p.m.  1 Out
Los Angeles 2, Milwaukee 0
Sheets vs. Kent: second gopher ball to left this inning.

1:47 p.m.  1 Out
Sheets vs. Ethier: Dillon at 3rd takes it for the first out.

1:45 p.m. 
Los Angeles 1, Milwaukee 0
Sheets vs. Jones: Sheets served up a high fastball to Jones who parked it into the left-field bullpen.

Bottom 6th

1:40 p.m.  3 Out
Billingsley vs. Hart: the best-fielding center fielder in baseball (usually), Andrew Jones, adjusted to going the wrong way on a slashing hit to center by Hart to end the threat.

1:39 p.m.  2 Out, Runners on 1st and 2nd
Billingsley vs. Fielder: they're scared of the 270-pounder.  If Martin's guarding the plate on a play where Fielder's barreling toward him later in the ining, I'd be scared of him, too.

1:38 p.m.  2 Out, Runner on 2nd
Billingsley vs. Braun: broken bat grounders don't turn Hollywood, but on the out, Weeks gets to second.

1:34 p.m.  1 Out, Runner on 1st
Billingsley vs. Hardy: long fly to left, but didn't get it all - out in left field.

1:32 p.m.  Runner on 1st
Billingsley vs. Weeks: a walk starts what hopefully will include a rally for the first run.  Cue Ryan Braun for the Hollywood moment after Hardy gets up.

Top 6th

1:29 p.m.  3 Out

1:26 p.m.  2 Out
Sheets vs. Billingsley: another K for Sheets.

1:25 p.m.  1 Out
Sheets vs. Bennett: fly to right, and Hart corrals it.  Just one base hit for Sheets.

Bottom 5th

1:21 p.m.  3 Out
Billingsley vs. Kendall: Kent takes in a slapper to third to end the rally.

1:20 p.m.  2 Out, Runner on 1st and 2nd
Billingsley vs. Sheets: pigs fly and men will land on Neptune in five years.  Sheets gets a base hit!  Even better: Kendall won't lead an inning. 

1:15 p.m.  2 Out, Runner on 1st
Billingsley vs. Gwynn: Loney takes it at first for an attempt at a 3-6-3 double play, but Gwynn beats it for a fielders choice.  More importantly, Sheets doesn't have to start the 6th.

1:14 p.m.  1 Out, Runner on 1st
Billingsley vs. Dillon: bounces up the middle, Maza lollipops it in the dirt and Loney drops it.  Error: E6

1:12 p.m.  1 Out

Top 5th

1:10 p.m.  3 Out
Sheets vs. Maza: your textbook 4-6-3 double play. 

1:07 p.m.  1 Out, Runner on 1st

1:03 p.m.  2 Out
Billingsley vs. Braun: another K, swinging...three in a row for "Don't Call Me Barbara" Billingsley.

1:02 p.m.  1 Out
Billingsley vs. Hardy: a nice little K...none too thrilling.

Top 4th

12:58 p.m.  3 Out
Sheets vs. Kent: drive to center, two steps from the fence, Gwynn runs back and gets it.

12:58 p.m.
The Brewers have picked up P Mark DiFelice on purchase from Nashville for the bullpen.

12:56 p.m.  2 Out, Runner on 2nd
Sheets vs. Ethier: nasty hook that Ethier yakked on for strike three.

12:55 p.m.  1 Out, Runner on 2nd
Sheets vs. Jones: a swinging bunt, and Kendall had to scramble to barely get the fast Jones at first.  Powell: "I guarantee you Johnny Estrada wouldn't have made that play."

12:50 p.m.  Runner on 1st
Sheets vs. Pierre: the first base hit in the game, a single to center off a curveball.

Bottom 3rd

12:47 p.m.  3 Out
Billingsley vs. Weeks: fastball - 94mph - too fast for Weeks, ending the inning.

12:45 p.m.  2 Out
Billingsley vs. Kendall: weak grounder to Maza almost turned into an infield hit (thanks to Maza hesitating), but the throw beats him.

12:44 p.m.  1 Out
Billingsley vs. Sheets: Ben actually lays down a good bunt, but it's not good enough for a hit.  Oh well.

Top 3rd

12:41 p.m.  3 Out
Sheets vs. Billingsley: called strike three on a curve in a perfect game so far.  (Don't blame me if he blows it - he can't even read this blog!)

12:40 p.m.  2 Out
Sheets vs. Gary Bennett: the ex-Brewer grounds weakly to Fielder who takes it himself.

12:38 p.m.  1 Out
Sheets vs. Luis Maza: a three-hopper to Hardy who puts him away.

Bottom 2nd

12:35 p.m.  3 Out
Billingsley vs. Tony Gwynn, Jr.: pop-up to 3rd, and Prince gets stranded.

12:32 p.m.  2 Out, Runner on 1st
Billingsley vs. Joe Dillon: K'd looking.

12:30 p.m.  1 Out, Runner on 1st
Billingsley vs. Corey Hart: pop-up on a hanging curve ball, and Maza takes it at short.

12:27 p.m.  Runner on 1st
Billingsley vs. Prince Fielder: the not-so-thrilled-to-be-low-paid one gets a base on balls and a free trip to first base.

12:25 p.m.  3 Out
Sheets vs. Russell Martin: six in a row retired after a bouncer to short.

12:23 p.m.  2 Out

12:22 p.m.  1 Out
Sheets vs. Jeff Kent: a popup to shallow center, and Tony Gwynn, Jr. closes in and sags it.

Bottom 1st

12:18 p.m.  3 Out
Billingsley vs. the new $45M man who gets a great ovation when he comes to bat: a pop fly to right field, where Ethier takes it in to end the inning.

12:17 p.m.  2 Out
Billingsley vs. J.J. Hardy: a shot to short, but Maza takes it and throws him out from short.

12:14 p.m.  1 Out
Chad Billingsley vs. Rickie Weeks: a swing and a miss on a low-and-outside pitch sends the leadoff hitter to the bench.

Top 1st

12:10 p.m.  3 Out
Sheets vs. Andre Ethier: gets him looking on a perfectly-placed outside corner fastball, Ben's 39th K of 2008.

12:09 p.m.  2 Out
Sheets vs. Andruw Jones: the not-so-hot former all-star pops up to Rickie Weeks.

12:05 p.m.  1 Out
Ben Sheets vs. Juan Pierre: Braun starts his tenure under his new deal with a late jump on a fly ball, but he caught it.

11:33 a.m.  Pregame
In the not-so-important personnel move of the day, the Brewers placed reliever David Riske on the 15-day DL with a hyper-extended right elbow.  They'll be making a roster move to fill the spot later today.
