Brewers Hot Corner Aramis "A-Ram" Ramirez got things started taking "Waino" deep for a Solo Bomb in the 2nd to make it 1- Brewers.  Milwaukee then proceeded to add one each in the 3rd and 5th before their four run 6th inning chasing Wainright.

Car-Go (1/4 w/2 R), Lucroy (2/4 w/3 RBI 2 R), A-Ram (3/5 w/2 RBI R Solo HR), and Braun (2/4 w/2 RBI) all did major damage. Brew Crew Starter Wily Peralta was good enough to get the "W" moving to 13-6. His Tab...6.2 IP 5 H 2 R 2 ER 4 BB 3 SO...as Redbirds LF Matt Holliday took Peralta deep in the 6th for a Solo Bomb.

The Brew Crew now stretches that NL Central lead to three games over both the Redbirds and Buccos who is currently tied with the D-Backs as we go to press in the 8th inning.
