Box Score
The first hit of tonight's game did not occur until the bottom of the 5th inning. At this point Shawn Marcum and Kevin Correia had collectively logged 9 innings, so in a way the 8,755 fans in attendance got to see a no-hitter. To put it more accurately, nothing of interest happened during the first half of the game. The good news is that when things did happen, they favored the Brewers.
Marcum had another sharp start, Fielder drove in some runs, and Nyjer Morgan is continued his quest to become a fan favorite by knocking the ball lose at home plate during the 7th. Now that the Brewers have won 6 of 7 I would like to declare them contenders in the NL Central.
Quick though not totally related to tonight's game:
1) Prince Fielder's best seasons have come in odd-numbered years. Hopefully that continues for 2011. Oh, and here's proof:
2006: .271/.347/.483, 28 HR
2007: .288/.395/.618, 50 HR
2008: .276/.372/.507, 34 HR
2009: .299/.412/.602, 46 HR
2010: .261/.401/.471, 32 HR
