Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Lorenzo Cain's RBI single in the 11th
inning lifted the Milwaukee Brewers to an 8-7 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates
in the second contest of a three-game set.
With Wilfredo Ledezma (0-1) on the mound, Ryan Braun singled to start the
frame and moved to second when Prince Fielder reached base on a Neil Walker
error. After Casey McGehee flied out, Cain punched a single to left to score
Braun for the win.
Fielder clubbed two home runs while Braun added two hits and scored twice for
the Brewers, who have taken the first two games of this set. Chris Capuano
lasted just three innings in the start as he was touched for six runs on six
hits with three walks.
Six Milwaukee relievers combined to pitch the remaining eight innings and gave
up just one run on five hits with Kameron Loe (3-3) getting the win.
Chris Snyder hit a three-run home run while Jose Tabata and Walker each added
a solo shot for the Pirates, who have lost eight of their last 11. Zach Duke
went 5 1/3 innings and was charged with four runs on nine hits.
Milwaukee plated three in the seventh to tie the game. Braun singled to start
the frame and, after Brian Burres took the mound, Fielder crushed a pitch deep
over the wall in right-center to make it a one-run game.
Chan Ho Park then took the mound and gave up a single to McGehee before Cain
reached base on a fielder's choice that saw McGehee forced out at second. Cain
then stole second and moved to third on a wild pitch before Jonathan Lucroy
hit a sharp grounder to third that Pedro Alvarez misplayed, allowing Cain to
score and tie the game at 7-7.
The Pirates got on board in the first on Tabata's one-out, solo homer, his
fourth of the year.
Milwaukee answered with a pair of runs in the bottom of the frame. With the
bases loaded and one out, McGehee hit into a fielder's choice that saw Rickie
Weeks score. Cain followed with an RBI single for a 2-1 lead.
Pittsburgh went back on top in the second, as a bases loaded walk by Alvarez
forced home Andrew McCutchen before Tabata hit an RBI single for a 3-2 lead.
The Pirates made it a 6-2 game in the third on Snyder's three-run blast over
the left field wall.
Milwaukee got one back in the bottom of the frame on a towering shot from
Fielder.
Lucroy's solo homer in the sixth got Milwaukee to within two runs, but Walker
countered with a solo shot of his own in the seventh.

season. He has 28 home runs on the season...Milwaukee has taken 12 of the 17

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect
LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.
Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.
Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
