Scooter Gennett
homered and Lyle Overbay hit a grand slam as the Brewers
put up five runs in the 1^st inning, but that wasn’t enough as the
Phillies sent the Brewers to another loss. Philly scored five runs of their own
in the top of the 2^nd to take a 6-5 lead and they never trailed the
rest of the way.  This was a 9-7 defeat
at Miller Park on Tuesday night.  Wily Peralta was charged with all nine Philadelphia runs.  Kyle Lohse tries to stop the slide tonight in
game 3 of the series.  Coverage begins at
