Prince Fielder and Jody Gerut accounted for all the Milwaukee runs with homers Wednesday and the Brewers edged the Chicago Cubs 3-2. Fielder hit a two-run shot in the fourth and Gerut gave the Brewers a 3-1 lead with his homer in the sixth. It was the 42nd homer of the year for Fielder, leaving him eight short of the career high he set two years ago. Bobby Scales doubled home Jeff Baker with nobody out in the seventh to bring the Cubs within one, but David Weathers retired the next three batters to escape the jam. Claudio Vargas protected the lead by working a perfect eighth inning and Trevor Hoffman worked around a one-out single in the ninth to collect his 35th save. Chris Narveson (2-0) got the win by allowing a run on four hits in 5 2/3 innings.

Jody Gerut's go-ahead grand slam Thursday propelled the Milwaukee Brewers to a 7-4 victory against the Chicago Cubs. Gerut's only hit, his seventh homer this season, erased a 2-1 deficit with two out in the top of the fourth inning. Mike Rivera hit a two-run double and Mike Cameron a sacrifice fly for the Brewers, who have won five of seven. Winner Dave Bush (5-7) gave up four runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings.

Jody Gerut had a pinch-hit RBI double in the sixth inning to put Milwaukee ahead for good Saturday in the Brewers' 7-3 win over Pittsburgh. Craig Counsell went 3-for-4 with a triple and a run, and Alcides Escobar, Felipe Lopez, Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun each drove in a run for the Brewers. Milwaukee starter Yovani Gallardo gave up three runs on five hits with seven strikeouts in five innings.

Ryan Braun's two-run homer touched off a six-run sixth inning Monday, launching the Milwaukee Brewers to a 7-1 whipping of Washington. The Brewers moved within a game of the .500 mark by winning for the third time in the four-game series. Yovani Gallardo (12-10) worked five innings to get the win, giving up four hits and a run while striking out eight.

Adam Dunn hit his 33rd homer of the season and Ryan Zimmerman pounded a two-run shot Sunday, boosting Washington to an 8-3 win over Milwaukee. Dunn's leadoff blast gave Washington a 6-1 lead in the bottom of the third. Zimmerman's homer in the fourth was one of his three hits in the game.
