After losing a tight 3-2 affair at Portland in the first game of a three game series, the Brewers bats come alive in game 2 and they get a 9-4 victory. Young Harry Lyerly got the start but left with the game tied 4-4 after having a pretty disastrous first inning (allowing 4 runs on 5 hits, including an Andy Wilson 3-run HR). After that Lyerly settled down nicely and reached double figures in strikeouts for the first time in his young WPK career. In his 8 big league starts, Lyerly is now averaging 9.5 K's per 9 innings pitched. For a young unpolished pitcher, he has been very impressive.
Jared Stephenson continues to have a fine season, as he goes 5 for 5 in the game with a pair of doubles to give him 11 on the season to go along with his 12 HR's. Young Bobby Erbakan also had a great game, going 3 for 5 with 3 RBI, hitting his 18th double and 5th triple.
