Baseball Betting Lines
08/28/2010 - 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.

Huskers' Lucky hospitalized for undisclosed reason
LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska running back Marlon Lucky was hospitalized Monday for undisclosed reasons after Lincoln police responded to a call at his residence.
The Nebraska athletic department said in a release Monday that Lucky was admitted Sunday night.

A nursing supervisor at the hospital said all questions about Lucky were being referred to the athletic department. The athletic department said there would be no further comment from the department or Lucky's family.
A Lincoln Police spokesman said officers responded to a call at Lucky's residence 11:30 p.m. Sunday. The spokesman said he didn't know Lucky's condition at the time he was taken to the hospital.
Lucky, from North Hollywood, Calif., started six games last season as a sophomore and was the team's second-leading rusher, with 728 yards and six touchdowns. He also caught 32 passes for 383 yards. He averaged 19.1 yards on eight kickoff returns.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
