Mike Cameron

MLB: San Francisco 3, Milwaukee 2

Milwaukee, Sept. 5: Bengie Molina hit an eighth-inning solo homer to give San Francisco the lead Friday and the Giants held on to edge Milwaukee 3-2.

San Francisco, which began the night trailing Colorado by a game in the National League wild-card race, managed only four hits and faced an early 2-0 deficit, but came back to pick up the crucial victory.

The Giants got a big break in the sixth with runners on first and second and two away when Mike Cameron botched a fly ball to center. That allowed Edgar Renteria to score, and Aaron Rowand then delivered a single that brought in Juan Uribe from third.

Molina's game-winning homer came on the first pitch of the eighth inning from Todd Coffey (4-4).

MLB: Cincinnati 8, Milwaukee 6

Milwaukee, Aug. 26: Home runs by Joey Votto and Laynce Nix in the 13th inning Tuesday allowed the Cincinnati Reds to survive a blown five-run lead and defeat Milwaukee 8-6.

The Reds took a 6-1 lead into the ninth inning, but a fielding error by pitcher Jared Burton opened the door to a huge Milwaukee comeback.

Milwaukee scored the tying run in the ninth on a base hit by Casey McGehee and the Brewers still had the bases loaded with only one away.

Mike Cameron then lifted a fly ball to left field and Ryan Braun tried to tag up and score the winning run after the catch but left fielder Darnell McDonald threw Braun out at home to send the game into extra innings.

MLB: Milwaukee 7, Washington 5

Milwaukee, July 30: Casey McGehee put Milwaukee in front with a two-run homer in the sixth Wednesday and the Brewers ended a three-game skid by downing Washington 8-3.

The Nationals failed in their bid to win a season-best five games in a row.

Milwaukee climbed back to within a game of .500 and, despite being in fourth place in the National League Central, stayed within 4 1/2 games of first.

Washington starter Garrett Mock was still on the mound in the sixth, trying to protect a 5-3 lead. Mock, however, gave up a lead-off double to Corey Hart and a single to Mike Cameron that moved Hart to third.

Tyler Clippard (1-1) came on to relieve Mock and got J.J. Hardy to ground into a double play that brought home Hart from third.

MLB: Milwaukee 5, Cincinnati 1

Cincinnati, July 19: Craig Counsell and J.J. Hardy hit solo homers Saturday, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a rain-delayed 5-1 win over the Cincinnati Reds.

Rainfall halted the contest with Milwaukee leading 4-1 after seven innings.

Corey Hart had two hits and one RBI, Frank Catalanotto had one RBI and a run scored on a fourth-inning error by losing pitcher Aaron Harang, while Counsell and Mike Cameron also had two hits for the Brewers, who have won two of three following the All-Star break.

Cincinnati scored on Casey McGehee's fifth-inning throwing error. Adam Rosales and Willy Taveras had two hits each for the Reds, who have lost three of four.

MLB: Milwaukee 11, Chicago Cubs 2

Chicago -- Mike Cameron launched a three-run homer in a five-run first inning Saturday, starting Milwaukee's 11-2 rout of the
Chicago Cubs.

Later, Casey McGehee drove in a career-high five runs -- two with a sixth-inning homer. McGehee collected four of the Brewers' 14 hits.
J.J. Hardy hit a second-inning solo homer for the Brewers, who had lost three straight.

Winner Braden Looper (7-4) gave up two earned runs and six hits in six innings before three relievers mopped up.
Chicago's runs scored on Milton Bradley's two-run with none out in the bottom of the third, his sixth this season.

Mike Fontenot had two of the seven hits for the Cubs, whose three-game winning streak ended.

MLB: Chicago Cubs 9, Milwaukee 5

Chicago, July 2: Derrek Lee drove in a career-high seven runs Thursday with two of Chicago's four home runs, boosting the Cubs to a 9-5 decision over Milwaukee.

The explosion of long balls came in the opener of a key series, in which the Cubs hope to make a big gain in the National League Central race. Milwaukee slipped back into a first-place tie with St. Louis, Cincinnati is two games behind, the Cubs are 2 ½ back and Houston trails by three.

Lee opened the onslaught with a three-run homer in the first inning and Jake Fox contributed a solo shot later in the frame.

After Geovany Soto homered to lead off the Chicago fourth, Lee belted a grand slam to left-center. It was the 20th multi-homer game of Lee's career.

Brewers' Cameron appeals 2-game suspension

New York -- Milwaukee Brewers center fielder Mike Cameron was suspended for two games and fined for allegedly making contact with an umpire.

Major League Baseball handed down the disciplinary action, in which the amount of the fine wasn't disclosed, Tuesday. Cameron has appealed the suspension so it won't go into effect until that process is completed.

Cameron was ejected from the Brewers' game Saturday against Atlanta when, in the ninth inning, he got into an argument with umpire Marvin Hudson over a called third strike. During the argument Cameron is thought to have bumped Hudson, although he told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel he didn't make contact with the umpire.

MLB: Milwaukee 5, Cincinnati 2

Milwaukee-- Mike Cameron's three RBIs carried the Milwaukee Brewers past division-rival Cincinnati 5-2 Sunday.
Cameron's big blow was a two-run homer in the fifth inning that staked the Brewers to a 5-1 lead and gave the win to Yovani Gallardo (5-2), who gave up two runs -- one earned -- on seven hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Michah Owings (3-6) took the loss after giving up all five runs and eight hits over 5 2/3 innings.

Cameron also drove in a run in Milwaukee's two-run first with an RBI single that was followed up by a run-scoring base hit by Mat Gamel

After Milwaukee added its third run on a sacrifice fly in the second by J.J. Hardy, the Reds got on the board in the third on an RBI single by Jay Bruce.
After Cameron's fifth-inning home run, Brandon Phillips hit a solo home run for the Reds to close out the scoring.
