                                        The Milwaukee Brewers could not have had a better day in terms of the game they played against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Brewers completed the three game sweep last night with an 8-4 victory. Mat Gamel hit a three run homerun for the Brewers midway through the game. It was his first career homerun. Gamel finished the night 1-3 with a walk. Another milestone was set last night but not by Mat Gamel, by the Brewers catcher Jason Kendall who got hit number 2,000 in his career. Kendall who is second among active catchers in hits, was sure to get the ball back to his teammates to hold on to him after he got his 2000th hit.

The Brewers didn’t just win with offense last night. Ryan Braun had one of the best defensive games of his career last night with 2 amazing diving catches. And Braden Looper put the icing on the cake last night with a  2 hitter going into the 7th inning to help his new team defeat his former team.

Not all was good last night however. The Brewers bad news was that they had lost their starting second baseman Rickie Weeks due to arpiscopic wrist surgery. “I love Rickie, and I told everybody that at the pregame,” manager Ken Macha said. “He’s a tremendous guy, but we need to go out and play, too.” They did noting but that with the 8-4 victory. How the Brewers will do without Weeks we will see.
