Brewers (5) vs. Reds (6) 7/11 — Tastes Great, Less Filling

Tastes Great:

Ryan Braun–His early home run was the only hit off Reds pitcher Josh Fogg in 5 1/3 innings.  He also delivered a double off the wall later in the game but Fielder and Hart failed him.

Less Filling:

Defense–3 errors led to 3 unearned runs for the Reds.  Rather pourous defense has been a black mark even during this recent surge in the standings.  You’d expect better out of veteran players like Cameron, Kendall, Hall, and even Weeks.

3 wild pitches–Not to be outdone by the defense, the pitching staff felt the need to contribute 3 wild pitches.  The one by Torres in the 8th was the most damning as it gave the Reds the lead.  Kendall needs to block that one though instead of trying to pick it.
