=== Milwaukee Brewers Team Report - June 13 === (My Sportsbook) - The Brewers halted a four-game losing streak on Thursday by posting a 6-5 victory over the Florida Marlins in the finale of their three- game series. Brady Clark keyed a five-run sixth inning with a two-run double to lead Milwaukee. Richie Sexson and Eric Young each hit solo homers, while Wes Helms smacked a two-run homer for the Brewers. Helms (11) and Young (9) both established career-highs in home runs. Matt Kinney (5-4) got the win as he yielded three runs on seven hits in six innings of work. The righthander struck out four batters and walked just one. Mike DeJean worked the ninth inning for his 15th save of the year. Milwaukee begins a three-game interleague series with the Baltimore Orioles on Friday by sending Glendon Rusch to the mound. Rusch hasn't posted a win since April 8 against Pittsburgh and has gone 0-8 over his last 11 starts. Most recently, Rusch suffered the loss against Boston on Sunday, as he permitted eight runs on 10 hits in 6 1/3 innings, while walking two and striking out four. Rusch is winless in his career against the Orioles (0-4) with a 10.59 ERA in seven starts. Milwaukee and Baltimore are meeting for the first time since 1997, when the Brewers still resided in the American League. The Brewers are 14-15 on the road this season, but they are just 12-22 at home. |
