Milwaukee got healthy on Pirate pitching as they scored 36 runs and the pitching staff only gave up one run in the three game series. It's too bad the Brewers could not do this every series, but this was the Pirates so you must also consider that. It was great to get some great hitting and pitching, but don't hold a lot into it. The Brewers take on the Cubs next so we will see if they can keep rolling along or if this was just a fluke.

Brewers Crush Pirates 20-0
The Milwaukee Brewers found someone that they can beat and boy did they beat them. Milwaukee pounded out 25 hits on the way top an easy 20-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Milwaukee's Ryan Braun was 3 for 5 with 5 RBI's and Prince Fielder went deep for the first time this year. Jim Edmonds also had a good game 4 for 6 and 3 RBI's. Randy Wolf finally pitched a good game as he went six innings giving up no runs to get his second win of the season.

Brewers Struggling Early
The Milwaukee Brewers spent plenty of money in the off-season getting pitching help. So far the experiment has been a disaster. Doug Davis was brought in and is 0-1 with a 12.27 era. Randy Wolf has pitched decent, but has also struggled as well. The bullpen has struggled a lot as well. The Brewers pitching staff last year had a high ERA and so far this year it is at 5.52. Pretty close to what the Brewerswere last year. What has to be real troubling for Brewers fans are the home runs that the pitchers are giving up. Pitching is what gets you to the playoffs and right now the Brewers are really struggling.
On the offense side of it Ryan Braun, Casey McGehee, and Rickie Weeks have gotten out to fast starts. Prince Fielder is struggling and has just three RBI's and no home runs to go along with 15 strikeouts. Fielder is a guy the Brewers need to get going especially if the pitching is struggling like they are. Some lineup changes will probably be needed if they Brewers want to get things going in the right direction. The Brewers cannot fall to far behind as catching the Cardinals maybe real tough this year.
