After getting a fine start by lefty Daniel Torres in the 1st of a 3-game series in San Francisco against the Velocity but losing 4-2 as reliever Eric Singer was uncharacteristically ineffective, allowing 2 runs on 4 hits in his 1 inning pitched, the Brewers take the second game 5-4 behind Harry Lyerly.
The young flame-thrower struck out 10 while only walking 1 in 7 1/3rds inning pitched, though he did give up 4 earned runs on a pair of 2-run HR's allowed. Lyerly improves to 8-5 (3.09).
(The second HRA I consider my fault. He was sailing along but then gave up a one-out single in the bottom of the 8th and with a power-hitting lefthander at the plate I knew that I should pull him in favor of one of our solid lefty relievers. But I didn't. And sure enough the inevitable happened.)
Young backup OF/1B Andrew Kennedy continued his impressive season (.317/.347/.446) as he went 2 for 4 and once again hit a big 6th inning 2-out, 2-run HR, his 3rd longball of the season. Kennedy is not known as a power hitter, but has shown that on occasion he can hammer mistake pitches out of the park with the best of them.
