Brewers pound 26 hits as they demolish the Cubs, 18-1

GBB Head Writer Jacob Stein Reports on the Brewers Domination of the Chicago Cubs.
Wrigley Field - A struggling team of late, there was nothing the Milwaukee Brewers needed more than a win. They got much, much more than they asked for. They completely owned the Chicago Cubs, scoring a whopping 18 runs, started by former Cubs player Casey Mcgehee's 3 run blast. Both Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder went 5-7 , Corey Hart added another 4 hits the day of his contract extension, and Alcides Escobar added 3 hits and a brilliant play in CF, where he does not regularly play. Yovani Gallardo pitched 6 innings and easily struck out 12 Chicago Cubs. Cub's rookie reliever made a memorable debut, giving up 6 runs in 2.1 innings. And despite the gargantuan run total, the Brewers only hit one homer. Heres an average inning. We'll take the 4th inning. Braun Singles, Fielder singles, McGehee homers, Edmonds singles, Escobar singles, Lucroy Singles, Gallardo Strikes out, Weeks doubles, Hart and Braun Get out. In the 5th, Fielder singles, McGehee singles, Edmonds walks, Escobar singles, Lucroy lines out, Gallardo reaches on Error, scoring 1, Weeks grounds out, Hart doubles, Braun singles, Fielder grounds out. That's how the game was. Many singles, not many good pitches. But I am mad about one thing. The Brewers, which are leading any team in the majors with HBP by about 20 (that's a lot), got hit 3 more times. Gomez was hit twice, one in the head that could have ended his career and Gallardo, the PITCHER was beaned. The Cubs showed no sympathy. What jerks. Seriously, a 93 mph fastball to the head and no cubs look even concerned. Well, look for Cubs rookie Thomas diamond to be owned tonight, and for 2 more hit brewers.
