Baseball Betting Lines

07/04/2009 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Casey McGehee finished with four hits, a double short of a cycle, and drove in five to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to an 11-2 win over the Chicago Cubs.

Mike Cameron was 2-for-3 with a three-run homer and four total RBI for the Brewers, who had lost the first two contests of this four-game set and dropped three in a row overall.

J.J. Hardy homered and finished with two of the Brewers' 14 hits, while also scoring twice.

Braden Looper (7-4) allowed two runs on six hits and three walks over six innings. Both his runs allowed came on Milton Bradley's two-run homer in the third inning.

Aside from Bradley's homer, the Cubs had only six singles and hit into three double plays, as they had a three-game win streak broken.

Chicago starter Rich Harden (5-5) surrendered seven runs on eight hits and a walk in two-plus innings, and took the loss.

The Brewers struck for five runs in the first inning, which Craig Counsell began with a single. Ryan Braun later doubled to put runners in scoring position, and after Harden intentionally walked Prince Fielder, McGehee hit a two-run single to center.

Cameron followed with a homer to left-center for a 5-0 Milwaukee lead.

Hardy's solo homer in the second made it a six-run game, and the Brewers went up 7-0 in the third. McGehee led off with a triple and scored on Cameron's double.

Bradley's two-run shot in the home third, after Derrek Lee hit a leadoff single, got the Cubs within five. Chicago did not have another hit until Mike Fontenot's single with two outs in the ninth, allowing the Brewers to take further control.

Hardy scored on a passed ball in the fourth, and McGehee followed with an RBI single to push Milwaukee's lead to 9-2. McGehee's two-run homer in the sixth made it an 11-2 game, and he had a chance to go for the cycle in the eighth, but grounded into a double play.

Game Notes

Harden allowed a season-high in earned runs and had his shortest outing of 2009...Cameron's homer was his 14th this season, while Hardy hit his ninth and McGehee belted his sixth...Bradley's HR was his sixth of the year. He also walked twice...The Cubs still lead the season series, 5-4.
