Final
  for this game

Brewers offense in a groove

Jun 18, 2008 - 1:16 PM Toronto (35-37) at Milwaukee (37-33) 8:05 pm. EDT

Milwaukee (Ticker) -- Ryan Braun and the Milwaukee Brewers look to continue their impressive power surge on Wednesday in the middle game of a three-game interleague series with the Toronto Blue Jays.

Braun belted two of the Brewers' season-high tying five home runs to lead Milwaukee to a 7-0 victory in Tuesday's opener. Prince Fielder, Craig Counsell and Russell Branyan also homered for the Brewers, who have won eight of 10 and are fifth in the majors with 88 home runs.

Ben Sheets (7-1, 2.72 ERA) has not needed much run support lately. The Brewers' ace is 3-0 with a 1.96 ERA in his last five starts. Sheets struck out a season-high nine while allowing three runs and seven hits in seven innings of a 9-6 win over Houston on Thursday.

Sheets will look to improve to 5-0 in his last eight interleague starts.

Toronto, which has lost 11 of 15 overall and eight straight to Milwaukee, will send Shaun Marcum (5-3, 2.43) to the hill. Marcum has a 1.71 ERA in his last three outings, but has not received a decision in those games, which have all been Blue Jays' losses.
