Box Score
The Brewers could not have picked a better time to play the Astros. If you need any more evidence as to how bad Houston is, Craig Counsell homered against them. That alone should be enough to relegate them to AAA, but hopefully that will not happen until after tomorrow.
Tonight's game unfolded how you would expect a contest between a first place team and a team 44 games under .500 would. The one big wrinkle, of course, is George Kottaras hitting for the cycle. Not bad for a backup catcher.
Also of note is that Taylor Green went 2-5 at 3B and is batting .571 so far (small sample, I know, but he may be the lightning in a bottle the Brewers need to wrap up the division soon). Though McGehee has been better recently, the more Green we see, the better.
One last note: Yesterday the Brewers won their 82 game of the season. This is significant because it marks only the 3rd winning season the Brewers have had since 1992. It's amazing the impact a good owner can have on a franchise.
