The Brewers take an early 7 – 2 lead over the Cardinals as Rickie Weeks hits a home run leading off the game, and Corey Hart and Ryan Braun also go deep against Chris Carpenter. The Cards mount a comeback as Albert Pujols hits a two-run shot to chase Randy Wolf, then in the 9th, Phat Albert does it again as Trevor Hoffman tries to close the ballgame.

Milwaukee’s 5 – 2 win over the Diamondbacks is marred by serious injuries suffered by a player on each team in the 4th inning. First, D-Backs SS Stephen Drew breaks his ankle when he is tagged out sliding at home plate and will be out for the remainder of the season. On the next play, Brewers CF Carlos Gomez makes a terrific diving catch on Ryan Roberts’ short fly ball to end the inning, but breaks his collarbone and will also be out a long stretch. Ryan Braun hits a 1st-inning homer for the Brewers, but an apparent second long ball in the 8th is taken away when instant replay shows it was a foul ball. The game then goes into extra innings and Milwaukee scores three runs in the top of the 10th to break the 2 – 2 tie.
