X’s Game: Brewers 3, Marlins 4
Record: 31-23, T-First Place

Thursday’s Game

- It looked rough from the start with Dave Bush taking a liner off his throwing arm. But Bush, being the badass he is, managed to fight through six innings. Josh Johnson’s first career homer proved the difference, as the Brewers dropped the series.
