Game Seventeen: Brewers 9, Phillies 0

Box Score

The Brewers always seem to have better offensive production versus great pitchers than pitchers with ERAs north of 6.00 (or Livan Hernandez). Is this true? Probably not (except with Hernandez). However, the game tonight sure helped the perception that the Brewers bats are the best against the best.

Roy Halladay was battered to the tune of 6 ER and 10 hits in 6.2 IP. Meanwhile Randy Wolf gave the Brewers another solid start (and ate innings to boot), Ryan Braun continued to rake, and Casey McGehee showed some power that has been absent so far this season. Regardless of what happens tomorrow the Brewers will have had a good road trip. Considering they were swept by the Nationals, this is an impressive feat.

Tomorrow the Brewers go for the sweep. Raise your hand if you thought they'd be doing that.
