(My Sportsbook) - Geoff Jenkins had two hits and drove in two, and Richie Sexson had two hits and scored twice, but it wasn't enough as the Brewers were beaten by Florida 5-4 in 12 innings last night. Wes Helms also drove in two runs, but left in the top of the 11th inning when he was hit on the right hand by a pitch. The X-rays were negative. Shane Nance was saddled with the loss after allowing four hits and the game winning run in the 12th inning. Glendon Rusch started the game for the Brewers, surrendering three runs on 10 hits over seven innings of work. He also struck out five and walked none. Todd Ritchie will get the ball for the Brewers tonight, when they conclude a three-game series against the Marlins. Ritchie (1-1, 4.63 ERA), allowed only one run and three hits in 5 1/3 innings of work in a 3-2 Milwaukee win in 14 innings over the Houston Astros on Saturday. He also struck out one and walked three in receiving a no decision. Ritchie is 2-1 with a 3.96 ERA in four career starts against the Marlins. Keith Osik snapped an 0-for-13 drought with a bloop single in the eighth inning of Wednesday's game. Alex Sanchez singled in the eighth inning of Wednesday's contest, extending his hitting streak to nine games.
