Brewers Sweep Astros, Time To Bury Cubs

by @ 5:20 pm. Filed under 2007 Brewers

The Brewers continue to play extremely well at home.  With the win today, they won their 30th home game of the season which is the most in all of baseball.  And with the three game sweep over the Astros, the Brewers have won eight of their nine games in this most recent home stand.

And they’ve done it in a variety of ways.  On Monday, Ben Sheets gave up just one run in six innings in a 6-1 win and yesterday, the Brewers got their bats going with an 11-5 blowout.  Then today they needed eleven innings but the end result was the same.

Ryan Braun has lived up to his hype and despite going 0 for 5 today, he’s still hitting .328 with some nice power numbers (six homeruns, 26 runs, 21 RBIs in 29 games) to go with them.  And prior to today, he had driven in runs in his past seven games. which is the longest streak by a Brewer since 1957.  His OPS had gone over 1.000 but with the 0fer game today, he’ll probably slip back below that exceptional mark.

Damian Miller of all people had the big hit in today’s game.  He belted a three run homer in the eleventh inning to win it and he finished with four RBIs in the game.  The backup catcher saw his batting average rise by over twenty points with the three for five game and the homerun was his first of the season.

The only down side to all of the wins is that the Cubs have kept pace with a six game winning streak of their own so they still sit just 7 1/2 games back.  The silver lining is that the Brewers can take care of them this weekend because they travel to Wrigley field for a three game series with the Cubs.  More importanly, Carlos Zambrano threw today so he won’t be going for the Cubs.  Yovanni Gallardo throws for the Brewers tomorrow and he’ll go head to head with Rich Hill in a touch matchup for the Brewers.  Still two wins out of three would go a long way towards burying the Cubs.   A sweep would obviously be even better.
