Brewers break out bats in another rout of LA

Baseball Betting Lines

05/06/2010 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rickie Weeks went 3-for-5 with three RBI while Prince Fielder and Casey McGehee each drove in a pair, as the Brewers upended the Dodgers, 11-3, behind another offensive outburst.

After being shut out three times in a four-game series at San Diego, Milwaukee has scored 22 runs in the first two games of this three-game set. Ryan Braun had two hits, scored two runs and knocked in another in the victory.

Doug Davis (1-3) picked up his first win of the season for his 5 1/3-inning effort. The left-hander, who had an 8.87 earned-run average in five previous starts this season, yielded three runs on seven hits and a pair of walks.

Chad Billingsley (2-2) battled through six frames, allowing seven hits, two walks and four runs for Los Angeles. James Loney, Casey Blake, and Garret Anderson each had an RBI in the loss, the club's seventh in 10 games.

The Dodgers were within 4-3 heading into the eighth, but Milwaukee, having already rolled to an 11-6 win on Tuesday, broke the game open with five runs.

Ronald Belisario, in his second inning of relief, walked two before Craig Counsell plated Jim Edmonds with a pinch-hit single to right. Ramon Troncoso relieved Belisario and gave up run-scoring hits to Weeks and Braun.

After a walk to Fielder loaded the bases, McGehee hit a bloop single to right to bring home two more.

"We came back, but it just got away from us in the eighth inning," Dodgers manager Joe Torre said. "We have to get this stuff together. We have to pitch better than we've been pitching."

Weeks' two-run single in the ninth put the Brewers in double digits for the second consecutive night.

Billingsley served up four consecutive singles to start the game, the fourth an opposite-field base hit to left by Fielder that brought home Weeks and Carlos Gomez. After Braun raced home on a passed ball, Alcides Escobar made it 4-0 on a two-out triple to right-center to knock in Fielder.

LA cut the early deficit in half in its turn at the plate on consecutive two- out, RBI singles by Loney and Blake.

Both starters settled down from there, though Davis was pulled with one out in the sixth after walking two batters. Carlos Villanueva came in and got an out before Anderson hit a pinch-hit liner to center to score Loney.

"After the first inning [Davis] settled down. He was able to locate his fastball," Brewers manager Ken Macha said. "He should feel good about the way he pitched."

Game Notes

Milwaukee will go for the series sweep on Sunday with Dave Bush squaring off against LA's John Ely...Todd Coffey, LaTroy Hawkins and Jeff Suppan each threw a scoreless inning of relief for the Brewers...Russell Martin and Ronnie Belliard each had two hits for the Dodgers, who went 3-for-14 with runners in scoring position, stranding 12.
