PHILADELPHIA -- All Ryan Braun needed to shake his slump was a trip to Philadelphia.
Paul
Kariya Ducks Jersey Authentic . Braun hit three home runs and tied a
franchise record with seven RBIs to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 10-4 victory
Tuesday, spoiling the Phillies home opener. Braun connected twice off
Kyle Kendrick (0-1), snapping the longest homerless drought of his career. The
2011 NL MVP came in with only three singles in 20 at-bats this season. But
Braun, who is bothered by a right thumb injury, felt just fine -- as usual -- in
Philadelphia. He has 10 homers and 21 RBIs in 20 career games at Citizens Bank
Park. "Its a good ballpark to hit in," Braun said. "And, I enjoy competing
against Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley and Ryan Howard." Coming off a three-game
sweep of the World Series champion Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, the Brewers
won their fourth straight game and improved to 5-2. Kyle Lohse (1-1) allowed
three runs and seven hits in five innings, walking five. Braun was booed in his
first game in Philly since serving a 65-game suspension for violations of Major
League Baseballs drug agreement and labour contract. He also got an earful last
week in Boston. It didnt bother him. "Its very motivating," Braun said. "Its
nothing new for me." He hit a three-run shot to left in the third to put the
Brewers up 4-1, ending his streak of 98 plate appearances without a homer. He
hadnt hit one since May 22, 2013, against the Dodgers. Brauns solo homer in the
fourth made it 6-1. He then launched a three-run drive off Brad Lincoln in the
eighth. "Hes a special player," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "Theres no
better way to silence the crowd." Braun also turned in a defensive gem. He saved
two runs with a diving catch on Carlos Ruizs sinking liner to right to end the
second inning. "That was a big play," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. "It
changed the momentum." The game was scheduled for Monday afternoon, but was
postponed Sunday because of a rainy forecast. It was sunny and 62 degrees at
first pitch, but windy enough to cancel the Navy parachuters who deliver
ceremonial baseballs. Former Phillies pitcher Jamie Moyer, now a broadcaster,
threw out the first pitch. It was brought to him by his boyhood idol, Hall of
Famer pitcher Steve Carlton. The Phillies couldve used them on the mound against
the Brewers. "We didnt have an answer for Braun," Sandberg said. Kendrick
allowed six runs -- four earned -- and nine hits in five innings. Jimmy Rollins
had an RBI double in the fourth and an RBI single in the sixth to get the
Phillies to 6-4. Five-time All-Star second baseman Chase Utley wasnt at the
ballpark because of the flu. He was replaced in Philadelphias lineup by rookie
Cesar Hernandez. A sellout crowd of 45,061 enjoyed the pregame festivities that
included the traditional mini-parade that leads players into the ballpark from
the street behind the stands in left-centre field. Players and coaches walked
in, mingled with the crowd and high-fived fans lined up along the red carpet in
the outfield. NOTES: Brauns other three-homer game was against San Diego on
April 30, 2012. ... Eight Brewers have had seven RBIs in a game. Jonathan Lucroy
was the last to do it on Aug. 30, 2012. ... Phillies LHP Cole Hamels said he
could be ready to join the rotation after two more rehab starts in the minors.
Hamels, the 2008 World Series MVP, was slowed by shoulder discomfort in spring
training. Hes scheduled to pitch Friday night for Class-A Clearwater. ... Braun
passed Geoff Jenkins for third place on the Brewers career list with 214 homers.
He has 17 home runs and 37 RBIs in 44 career games vs. the Phillies. ... Rollins
already has eight RBIs, one more than he had last April. ... RHP Matt Garza
(0-1, 1.13 ERA) takes the mound for the Brewers on Wednesday night.
Roberto Hernandez (1-0, 3.38) goes for Philadelphia. Garza is 2-1 with a 1.30
ERA in five career starts against the Phillies. Hernandez will make his first
start vs. Milwaukee.
