Brewers vie to bully Twins once again

Baseball Betting Lines

06/17/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A refocused Milwaukee Brewers squad shoots for a fifth consecutive victory and a three-game sweep of the host Minnesota Twins when the teams play their final 2007 encounter this afternoon at the Metrodome.

The Brewers' offense has woke up after being no-hit by Detroit's Justin Verlander on Tuesday. Since that contest, Milwaukee has compiled 25 runs during its current four-game win streak and opened up a 6 1/2-game lead on the second-place Cubs in the National League Central.

Milwaukee erupted for 11 runs in a rout of the Twins in Friday's opener, but starting pitcher Dave Bush was the star for the Brewers in last night's 5-2 win. The right-hander limited Minnesota to two runs on five hits over 6 1/3 innings.

The Brewers' bullpen shut the Twins out the rest of the way, with Francisco Cordero earning his major league-best 25th save with a scoreless ninth.

Corey Hart delivered a key two-run single in the seventh inning and Craig Counsell finished 2-for-4 at the plate for the Brewers, who conclude a nine- game road trip today. Milwaukee has gone 5-3 so far on the trek.

Boof Bonser (5-2) took the loss for Minnesota after allowing four runs in 6 1/3 innings of work. The defeat was the second straight for the Twins following a four-game win streak.

Milwaukee will take its swings today against rookie Kevin Slowey, who has performed well for the Twins in three starts since being recalled from Triple- A Rochester on June 1.

Slowey won his second straight game after holding Atlanta to three runs -- two earned -- on seven hits over six innings on Tuesday. The rookie did not walk a batter and has issued just two free passes in 17 innings since his promotion.

The Brewers will send out veteran Jeff Suppan, who will be attempting to end a string of back-to-back defeats. The right-hander opposed Verlander on Tuesday and gave up four runs on seven hits over 6 1/3 innings in the loss.

Suppan went 5-2 with a 2.63 ERA over his first seven starts of the season, but the 32-year-old is just 2-5 over his last seven outings and yielded four or more runs in all but one of those games. Home runs have been a recent problem, as Suppan has served up nine long balls during this seven-start stretch.

In 17 career starts against Minnesota, Suppan is 5-8 with a 4.61 ERA. He has just a 1-4 lifetime record in the Metrodome despite posting a 3.14 ERA in seven games there.

Minnesota took two of three from the Brewers earlier in the season and has won seven of the last 11 meetings played between the teams, including five of the last eight at the Metrodome.
