National League Game Summary - Florida at Milwaukee

Final Score: Florida 5 - Milwaukee 8 Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Ryan Braun had three hits, including a two- run homer, as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Florida Marlins, 8-5, in the second game of a four-game series at Miller Park. Braun also doubled and singled while playing in just his eighth game in the majors. Braun's contract was purchased from Triple-A Nashville on May 24. "I think I stayed within myself a little today, swung at some pitches I was able to drive and glad the team was able to win," said Braun. "More than anything I feel situated, and I'm able to focus on baseball instead of having to worry about other things. Lately I've been trying a little too hard and my pitch selection has suffered a little bit because of it. I've got to get back to make sure I swing at strikes." Kevin Mench added a three-run double and finished the night with four RBI for Milwaukee, which has won three of its last four games on the heels of a six- game slide. Tony Graffanino also chipped in with a two-run double. Jeff Suppan (7-5) yielded four runs on six hits over seven innings, walking three and fanning two in the victory. The right-hander has received a decision in each of his last 12 starts this season. Dan Uggla and Hanley Ramirez both hit solo homers for the Marlins, who have dropped the first two games of this set after sweeping the Cubs. Scott Olsen (4-5) was roughed up for five runs on eight hits in 5 2/3 innings in the loss. The lefty walked three and fanned two. Florida opened up a 1-0 lead in the first on Uggla's one-out homer to left, then added a run in the third when Ramirez launched a solo home run to center. Milwaukee, however, put up a three spot in the fourth to take the lead. Braun drew a leadoff walk, and after Prince Fielder flied out, Johnny Estrada and Bill Hall both singled. Mench's sacrifice fly scored Braun to cut it to 2-1, and Graffanino followed with a two-run double for a 3-2 lead. Graffanino was thrown out trying to reach third to end the inning. The Brewers added two more in the fifth on Braun's two-out, two-run homer to center. Florida fought back with a pair of runs in the seventh, as Uggla's sacrifice fly plated Aaron Boone, and Ramirez followed with an RBI single that chased home Alfredo Amezaga to cut it to 5-4. Mench connected with a three-run double off Justin Miller in the bottom of the frame to boost Milwaukee to an 8-4 lead. The Marlins got a run in the ninth when Amezaga walked, advanced on a single by Ramirez and came around to score on a throwing error by Braun. Francisco Cordero came on to get the final out and record his 20th save. "We've got to finish the innings," said Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez. "We can't let them linger around. We didn't do that today. We're just having trouble closing innings out right now."
