06/15/2010 - Anaheim, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ryan Braun belted a grand slam and drove in five runs, as Milwaukee blasted the Angels, 12-2, to start a three-game interleague series.
Randy Wolf (5-6) gave up three hits and two runs over seven innings and snapped a two-start losing streak, putting an end to the Brewers' two-game skid. He retired the final 13 batters he faced.
"I attacked the glove tonight," Wolf said. "No matter what the score is, you don't want to change anything. I had good command and my curveball was good tonight. When you get a big lead it allows me to be more aggressive."
Corey Hart went 3-for-5 with a pair of RBI and scored twice for the Brewers, while Casey McGehee homered.
While the Milwaukee bats were blistering, the fans at Angel Stadium were rattled a bit due to an earthquake in the seventh inning that registered at 5.7 and was centered near the U.S.-Mexico border.
Joe Saunders (5-7) allowed six hits and six runs over 5 2/3 innings and had a two-start winning streak broken. He gave up a total of two runs over his previous two outings, a span of 15 innings, but both of those starts were on the road. Saunders is now 1-6 at home this season.
"He got through the first couple of innings okay, then his command caught up with him and he had trouble putting hitters away," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "We just played a poor ball game. They blew it open and we couldn't get our bats going."
Kevin Frandsen had a two-run double in the second inning for Los Angeles, which had won its last three. The Angels, who were coming off an 11-3 road trip, lost for just the third time in their last 13 games.
It was a rough night for the Angels. Center fielder Torii Hunter had a ball glance off his glove and over the fence, accounting for McGehee's homer in the sixth inning. McGehee also slid hard into second base in the seventh inning, causing shortstop Erick Aybar to leave the game with a hyperextended left knee.
With one out in the sixth, Hunter ranged back to the wall in center field and nearly made the grab. A Gold Glove winner the last nine years, Hunter then had the ball pop out and over the fence, giving the Brewers a 6-2 lead.
It only got worse in the seventh inning for the Angels. Hart doubled in two runs and Braun had an RBI single. Trevor Bell hit McGehee with a pitch in the stomach area. Carlos Gomez then hit a ground ball to first baseman Frandsen, who threw to second base. The throw was in time to get McGehee, but while sliding into second he connected with Aybar's leg, bending it backward.
Aybar was then helped off the field and was replaced at shortstop by Maicer Izturis, who came over from third. Aybar was diagnosed with a hyperextended left knee and is day-to-day.
Braun scored on a wild pitch from Bell and a Robb Quinlan fielding error at first made it an 11-2 contest.
A groundout from Alcides Escobar scored Joe Inglett in the ninth inning.
Frandsen doubled with the bases full in the second inning, but the Brewers quickly erased the deficit in the third. George Kottaras doubled off the wall in the right field corner to drive in Escobar. After Milwaukee loaded the bases later in the frame, Braun connected to center field for his 10th homer of the season.
Game Notes
It was the first-ever grand slam allowed by Saunders and the third of Braun's career...Bobby Abreu threw out Craig Counsell at the plate in the sixth inning when Counsell tried to score on a base hit from Escobar...Milwaukee took two of three games from the Angels during its last visit to Anaheim, which took place during the 2004 season.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.

Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The game kicks off at 6:00pm ET on NBC with announcers Al Michaels and John Madden covering the on-field action. Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds
Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:
Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
