  newser | Associated Press | Apr 24, 08 6:03 PM CDT
  
  Pat Burrell's two-out, two-run double broke a tie in the eighth, and the Philadelphia Phillies held on for a 3-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday. Burrell's deep drive to the left field corner capped the Phillies' two-out rally off Brewers reliever David Riske (0-1), who got the first two outs of the inning before walking Greg Dobbs and giving up a single to Chase Utley.

  newser | Associated Press | Apr 24, 08 7:36 AM CDT
  
  Prince Fielder hit a pair of two-run homers as the Milwaukee Brewers rallied past the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4 last night. The homers snapped a relative power drought for Fielder, the defending National League home run champion who had 50 a year ago. Fielder went homerless in his first 14 games this season and hit just one in his first 68 at-bats before yesterday. More »
- Kapler Lifts Brewers Over Cards in Extras
  
  newser | Associated Press | Apr 22, 08 7:40 PM CDT
  
  Gabe Kapler singled home the winning run with one out in the 12th inning and the Milwaukee Brewers overcame another blown save by Eric Gagne, beating the St. Louis Cardinals 9-8 Tuesday. The Brewers wasted a five-run lead before Kapler's hit. The Cardinals' loss came with an oddity: Slugger Albert Pujols wound up playing second base for the first time in his big league career. More »
- Pair of RBI Doubles in 9th Lift Cards Over Brewers
  
  newser | Associated Press | Apr 21, 08 11:21 PM CDT
  
  Skip Schumaker doubled in the go-ahead run in the ninth and the St. Louis Cardinals overcame a fielding blunder in the eighth to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3.

  newser | Associated Press | Apr 19, 08 5:42 PM CDT
  
  Bill Hall's two-run double in the 10th inning kept the Milwaukee Brewers perfect in extra innings this season, setting up a 5-3 victory today over the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds have seen quite enough of Hall already. His two-run homer led to a 5-2 win in the series opener. A day later, he sent a pitch from David Weathers (0-2) into right-center to break a 3-all tie. More »
- Sheets Dominates Early in Brewers' Win
  
  newser | Associated Press | Apr 18, 08 10:41 PM CDT
  
  Ben Sheets dominated for five innings before a tight pitching arm forced him from the game Friday, and Milwaukee held on for a 5-2 victory over slumping Cincinnati. Sheets (3-0) allowed only a pair of singles, looking very comfortable in a hitter-friendly ballpark where he has never lost. He left for a pinch-hitter in the sixth inning with the Brewers ahead 5-0.

- Fielder's First Home Run Helps Brewers Over Cardinals 5-3
  
  newser | Associated Press | Apr 17, 08 6:40 PM CDT
  
  Prince Fielder hit his first home run of the season, a two-run drive off Brad Thompson in the 10th inning that gave the Milwaukee Brewers a 5-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday. Fielder, who led the NL with 50 homers last year, needed 54 at-bats to connect for the first time this year. He also tied the score with a bloop RBI double that capped a three-run, eighth-inning rally against Kyle Lohse and two relievers. More »
- Wainwright's Arm, Bat Lead Cardinals
  
  newser | Associated Press | Apr 16, 08 10:55 PM CDT
  
  Adam Wainwright pitched into the eighth inning and homered Wednesday night, helping the St. Louis Cardinals run their home winning streak to seven with a 5-4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.

- Scrappy Looper Helps Cardinals Beat Brewers 6-1
  
  newser | Associated Press | Apr 15, 08 10:54 PM CDT
  
  Braden Looper pitched around Prince Fielder and limited the rest of a Milwaukee Brewers' lineup without Ryan Braun to three hits in five innings, leading the St. Louis Cardinals to a 6-1 victory Tuesday night. Skip Schumaker had two hits and two RBIs and Adam Kennedy was 3-for-4 with an RBI for the NL Central leading, 10-4 Cardinals. More »
- Brewers Outrun Mets, 9-7
  
  newser | Associated Press | Apr 13, 08 5:45 PM CDT
  
  Gabe Kapler has gone from minor league manager to major league hassle for opposing pitchers. Kapler, who managed in the Red Sox organization last season, homered for the second straight day, doubled twice and drove in three runs as the Brewers beat the Mets 9-7 today. The 32-year-old Kapler came out of retirement during the offseason and has four home runs in 26 at-bats. More »
- Brewers' Homers Doom Santana, Mets
  
  newser | Associated Press | Apr 12, 08 6:02 PM CDT
  
  Ben Sheets ruined Johan Santana's Shea Stadium debut, outpitching the Mets' new ace in the Milwaukee Brewers' 5-3 win over New York today. Home runs by Bill Hall, Rickie Weeks and Gabe Kapler helped Milwaukee come from behind and Sheets (2-0) overcame a shaky start to help Brewers end a three-game losing streak. Santana struggled and the Mets' three-game winning streak was snapped. More »
- Mets' Figueroa Gets First Win in Five Years
  
  newser | Associated Press | Apr 11, 08 10:36 PM CDT
  
  Nelson Figueroa earned his first major league win in five years, retiring 14 straight batters at the start and pitching his hometown New York Mets past the Milwaukee Brewers 4-2 on a foggy Friday. Carlos Delgado hit one of New York's three RBI singles and the Mets got a strong effort from their much-maligned bullpen to win their third straight. More »

  newser | Associated Press | Apr 10, 08 12:08 AM CDT
  
  Adam Dunn and Corey Patterson each hit two-run homers, Brandon Phillips scored twice off a pair of heady baserunning plays and Cincinnati defeated Milwaukee 12-4. Phillips helped put the Reds on top for good in the sixth after the normally sure-handed second baseman allowed two unearned runs that cost Cincinnati the lead in the fifth when he let a grounder go through his legs. More »
- Weeks Bails Out Gagne, Lifts Brewers in Extras
  
  newser | Associated Press | Apr 8, 08 11:55 PM CDT
  
  The Brewers bailed out Eric Gagne again. Rickie Weeks singled home the winning run in the 10th inning and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Cincinnati Reds 3-2. With two outs and two strikes in the ninth, Gagne blew his second save in three chances when Corey Patterson hit a homer just over right fielder Corey Hart's leap to tie the game. More »

Sheets (1-0) had his 96 mph fastball and big curveball working right from the start, striking out the side in 11 pitches in the first inning, reports AP. More »

Prince Fielder went 3-for-4 with three runs scored and three RBIs, and Gabe Kapler drove in a pair of runs. More »
