Brewers top Giants; Bonds sits

Baseball Betting Lines

07/23/2007 - Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ryan Braun homered and drove in three runs, as the Milwaukee Brewers edged the San Francisco Giants, 7-5, in the conclusion of a three-game series at Miller Park.

Barry Bonds, sitting two home runs shy of Hank Aaron's all-time record at 753, got the day off. He now has a good chance to break the record at home, as the Giants play the next seven games at AT&T Park, starting with a four-game set with Aaron's Braves.

Corey Hart hit a two-run homer and J.J. Hardy knocked in two for Milwaukee, which avoided the sweep. Claudio Vargas (8-2) allowed three runs on five hits over six innings in a winning effort.

Opposing starter Barry Zito (7-10) yielded seven runs in 5 1/3 innings of work for the Giants, who have lost eight of 11. Omar Vizquel finished 3-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored, and Pedro Feliz homered.

A pair of homers in the first staked the Brewers to a 4-0 lead. Rickie Weeks doubled to lead off the inning, and was driven in a batter later when Braun belted Zito's offering over the wall in left-center.

"We haven't played as well as we would like to the last couple of days," Braun said. "It was nice to get the momentum early, and to get a couple more runs and hang on to win."

The sequence repeated itself, as Prince Fielder followed with a double before Hart stepped in a batter later and hit his 14th homer of the year.

The Giants got on the board in the third thanks to a defensive miscue. Vizquel's hit was misplayed in the outfield, allowing Dave Roberts to score all the way from first with two outs.

Roberts and Vizquel added RBI singles in the fifth to slice the Brewers lead to 4-3.

Milwaukee, though, responded with three runs in the sixth to reclaim command. With the bases loaded and two out, Hardy singled to center to bring a pair home. Braun followed with a base hit that scored Craig Counsell for a 7-3 advantage.

"I tried to hold them down, and give the team a chance to win," Zito said. "A couple hits in the sixth was the difference."

Feliz's leadoff homer in the seventh made it a three-run game, and Aurilia's RBI groundout in the eighth brought the Giants within two. Francisco Cordero shut the door in the ninth, however, for his 31st save of the season.

Game Notes

With the long ball, Braun became the fastest Brewer in team history to reach 15 homers -- needing just 50 at-bats...Hart entered the game in a 1-for-19 skid...Attendance was 42,554.
