One bit of drama this past week occurred in Game 1 of the double-header at Los Angeles. In his first game back at L.A. since being traded from there to Denver just over a month ago, Steve Alonso hit L.A. secondbaseman Dave Lopez with a pitch with two outs in the bottom of the 4th. Lopez charged the mound, Alonso happily received him there and a bench-clearing brawl commenced. Only Alonso and Lopez received suspensions as a result of the brouhaha: Lopez for 4 games, Alonso for 6. The Brewers ended up losing the game 2-1 but, perhaps fired up a bit, did take the second game of the twin-bill to put an end to their long losing streak.
