Cameron's single in ninth lifts Brewers past D-Backs
Baseball Betting Lines
07/03/2008 -
Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mike Cameron's run-scoring single in the top of
the ninth inning lifted Milwaukee over Arizona, 4-3, in the third-leg of a
four-game set at Chase Field.
Cameron finished 2-for-4 with two runs batted in for the Brewers, who have won
two straight after losing the series opener. Rickie Weeks added a pinch hit
homer for Milwaukee, while J.J. Hardy was 2-for-4 with an RBI and extended his
hitting streak to 14 games.
Seth McClung allowed two runs on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings, while walking
one and fanning six. David Riske (1-1) earned the win despite allowing a run
in the eighth, and Salomon Torres picked up his 15th save with a scoreless
ninth.
Justin Upton homered for the Diamondbacks, who have dropped six of their past
eight games. Orlando Hudson finished 4-of-5 with a run scored.
Yusmeiro Petit, who was making his first start of the season, was terrific on
the hill but was let down by his bullpen. Petit gave up just one run on two
hits in six innings. Brandon Lyon (2-3) lost it after giving up Cameron's
single in the ninth.
With the game deadlocked at three, Milwaukee took advantage of some shoddy
fielding to take the lead. Russell Branyan reached on Mark Reynolds' fielding
error at first and Gabe Kapler quickly put him into scoring position by
laying down a sacrifice bunt. Cameron then came through his run-scoring single
that made it a 4-3 game.
The D'Backs threatened off Torres in the bottom of the ninth when Hudson led
off with a single and advanced to second on Conor Jackson's deep fly to left.
After Torres walked Reynolds, he induced Chris Young to ground into a 5-3
double play to end the game.
Arizona took an early 1-0 lead on Miguel Montero's RBI infield single in the
second.
The D'Backs added another run in the third. Hudson led off the frame with a
double to left and came around to score on Young's two-out single up the
middle.
The Brewers finally broke through with a run off Petit in the sixth. Petit
plunked Jason Kendall and McClung laid down a sac bunt to move the catcher
into scoring position before Hardy rapped a two-out RBI single to left.
Milwaukee evened things in the seventh thanks to a poor decision by Arizona
manger Bob Melvin. Doug Slaten started the inning on the hill for the D'Backs
and got two quick outs but Melvin lifted to the reliever so Chad Qualls could
match up with Kapler. The veteran outfielder laced a triple off Qualls and
Cameron followed by lining a run-scoring double to left.
The Brewers then took the lead in the eighth when Weeks led off the eighth by
taking Tony Pena over the wall in left for his eighth homer of the season.
Upton matched Weeks by leading off the home half of the frame with his 10th
home run of the year off Riske.

versus Florida, he had his start skipped. Owings struggled during a bullpen
session yesterday...After opening the season 20-8, the Diamondbacks have gone
22-35 since...The Brewers are 11-3 in their last 14 encounters with Arizona.
