MILWAUKEE -- Just before the start of the ninth inning, Braves first base coach Eddie Perez made Chris Carter aware that Milwaukee had accomplished a rare feat.The Brewers struggling hitters broke out to score in every inning they batted for the first time in franchise history, beating Atlanta 11-3 Thursday.It was the eighth time since 1961 a team has scored in each inning it hit during a nine-inning game, the Elias Sports Bureau said.I then looked up (at the scoreboard) and was like, `Oh yeah, we did score in every inning, Carter said. I didnt even notice that. Thats pretty cool. I dont think Ive ever seen that.The Brewers needed an RBI triple from Orlando Arcia with two outs in the eighth to score. Braves center fielder Ender Inciarte almost came up with a diving catch, but the ball skipped past him, allowing Jonathan Villar to come around from first base.We were talking about it in the dugout, Arcia said through a translator. I wasnt even thinking about it in my last at-bat. I was just trying to get a good pitch, put a good swing on it and try to get a hit.Carter hit a two-run homer in the first to put the Brewers on the board. Milwaukee took a 3-0 lead in the second when they tried a double steal. Manny Pina was tagged out between second and first, but Keon Broxton scampered home.Scooter Gennett and Hernan Perez hit solo homers in the third and fourth to help Milwaukee build a 6-0 lead for Matt Garza. The Brewers run in the fifth inning came on a two-out single by Gennett.Erick Aybar homered and Nick Markakis had an RBI single in the Atlanta sixth. Aybar also doubled and singled.The Brewers pulled away in the bottom half on a three-run double by Pina. Perez added a two-out RBI single in the seventh to keep the run of scoring in every inning alive.You dont see that look on the scoreboard ever, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. Ive never seen it before.Garza (4-4) won his third straight start, allowing two runs and seven hits in six innings.Ive been say for a while that Ive just been waiting for my stuff to come back, Garza said. Its back. Ive been able to pitch like I have in the past. It is refreshing. It is a spot Ive worked real hard to get back to.Making his second start of the season, Roberto Hernandez (1-1) gave up five runs and seven hits in four innings.After scoring eight runs in the first three games of the series, the Brewers wound up with 14 hits.I dont think Ive been a part of that before, Braves left fielder Jeff Francouer said. It was tough. You want to tack on runs every inning and they were able to do that against us. When you let that happen, youre not going to win.SMOOTH TRANSITIONBy going 3 for 5, Brewers 3B Jonathan Villar is hitting .432 (16 for 37) since moving from shortstop to third base to allow top prospect Arcia into the lineup.ON THE BOARDPinas double gave him the first three-RBI game of his career.

Following a lopsided 5-2 loss against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night, Paul MacLean told reporters that "theres a lack of focus, theres a lack of leadership and theres a lack of preparation" with his struggling team.

Defenceman Yannick Weber scored the go-ahead goal early in the third period and the Canucks breathed a sigh of relief with a 2-1 win on Saturday night.For Friday nights Cubs game against the Giants, Rich and I werent in 416: Wed scored bleacher seats instead. So while other seatmates held down the fort in the upper deck, I headed to Wrigley early to soak up the atmosphere.Four hours before the ridiculously late first pitch (8:15? MLB, youre killing me.), Wrigleyville was pretty calm but different. Outside-the-park action shifts during the postseason.A significantly larger-than-usual police presence led to rumors that President Barack Obama would be visiting the game. One of my security guard pals complained that a seat was being wasted on a White Sox fan. I pointed out that Michelle Obama, our first lady, grew up a South Side Cubs fan, and that gives him some Cubs cred.The ballhawks on Waveland were out, though they predicted little out-of-the-ballpark action, because The Giants got no hitters. The freelance T-shirt salespeople had reduced in number. During the final homestand, the Cubs and Major League Baseball initiated a lawsuit against the T-shirt sellers for copyright infringement and selling pirated goods. So those guys -- with their ubiquitous shouts of Ten-dollah T-shirts! All T-shirts ten dollahs! were few and far between, selling a much-reduced inventory.The parking-spot salespeople were doing brisk, and much more profitable, business. Due to the scarcity of places to leave ones giant suburban SUV in densely populated Wrigleyville, many home and condo owners rent out their garages or parking spots -- and increase the demand by parking their own vehicles on the street in the morning, taking up a spot that might otherwise be free. Prices skyrocket with the postseason: One friend of mine reported that last year during the division series, her usual $45 dollar spot a few blocks from the park went up to $175. One guy on Clark Street was asking $80 for what had been a $40 spot in the regular season.Then there are the scalpers. Theyve been back in force since late last season, but now you cant walk 10 feet without hearing someone ask, Got extra tickets? Got any extras? or Who needs tickets? The irony on Friday: The team itself still had tickets for sale at the box office, presumably returns from tickets held back for the Giants and VIPs (Maybe Obamas unclaimed seat?). After a quick stop at Nisei (to let them know about the tickets, in case some otherwise shut-out regular wanted a last-minute seat), I went into the park early and got the rally towel. Im not sure which franchise started this tradition, but can we punish that team somehow? Take away a few draft picks? Why teams would give people something to wave around blocking other fans view is a mystery to me.Val Capone was not in her usual spot up in 211 but was stationed under the Old Scoreboard, surely the most scenic spot in the park. I conferred with her there and chatted with Hot Doug Sohn, whose gourmet, naamed-for-Cubs sausages are one of the highlights of the bleachers.dddddddddddd I recommend the Dave Rosello.While we were talking, I noticed the Cubs pulling a fast one, another political moment even if the president never showed. The team had offered the mayor, all members of the Chicago City Council and Illinois state reps and senators the chance to buy a pair of tickets to postseason games. Several aldermen, including adamant Sox fans, declined, but most accepted. The citys ethics board ruled that the Cubs would have to put the names of the politicians who accepted on the videoboard, because the value of the tickets exceeded the $50 limit on gifts. This, cynics suggested, would at least give the voters a chance to boo.The Cubs did indeed post their names -- over an hour before the first pitch, when the park was mostly empty and fans werent watching. I may have been the only person booing.Ah, Chicago, City of Clout.As any ESPN reader surely knows by now, the game was a masterpiece, a Johnny vs. Jon pitchers duel for the ages. Cueto and Lester were both sharp -- Cueto arguably sharper except for one mistake pitch to Javy Baez that barely made it into the left-field basket against a moderate wind (had the breeze been fractionally stronger, Baezs home run trot out of the batters box wouldve been just an embarrassingly long single). The Legend of Grandpa Ross just kept growing, as he got two of the first seven Giants outs by catching Gorkys Hernandez stealing and picking?Conor Gillaspie?off first. The last time a catcher had a pickoff and caught-stealing in the same postseason game? Cubs Hall of Famer Gabby Hartnett in the 1935 World Series.In the stands, postseason baseball, unfortunately, brings out the football spectator in many baseball fans. Lots of shouting and heckling. While a unified Cueeeee-tooooo chant may indeed be audible to the player you want to rattle, if youre 10 rows up in the center-field bleachers, Gillaspie will not hear you when you shout Gillaspie! The White Sox think you suck! Everyone in the park stood at the end of the first, second and fifth innings, when Lester had two strikes on the batter, and of course everyone was on their feet for the entire Aroldis Chapman ninth. One backwards-baseball-cap bro in the row in front of us stood pretty much the whole game, except when he was making beer runs, which, thankfully, was every other inning or so.Baseball is a game of routine plays, and Im of the school of thought that believes maintaining a calm, Zen approach is the best way to enjoy the game. But in a ballpark as electric as Wrigley Field was Friday night, its tough to be nonchalant. Things will only get more extreme if the Cubs advance.A nice problem to have for sure. ' ' '
