| (Best E Casino) - Talk surrounding the NL Central for the first two months has revolved around the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals. However, don't count out those young and hungry Milwaukee Brewers just yet. The Brewers have won six straight and nine of their last 10 games. Yesterday, the Brew Crew continued their tremendous streak with a 10-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Manny Parra allowed one run in seven strong innings and Gabe Kapler went 4- for-5 for Milwaukee which completed the sweep |

MILWAUKEE (AP) -Corey Hart hit a three-run, inside-the-park homer and Russell Branyan followed with a conventional shot to lift the surging Milwaukee Brewers to a 10-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday for their sixth straight win. Brewers starter Manny Parra (4-2) tied a career high with eight strikeouts in seven innings, retiring his final 14 batters as Milwaukee finished its homestand 8-1 and swept Arizona for the first time since Aug. 21-23, 2000.

| (Best E Casino) - The Milwaukee Brewers will try to extend their season-high winning streak to six games tonight, when they go for a three-game sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks at Miller Park. Milwaukee swept Houston in three games before winning the first two contests of this set with Arizona, including Tuesday's 7-1 victory. Ryan Braun put the Brewers ahead with a two-run homer in the sixth inning to spoil a solid pitching outing from Randy Johnson. Prince Fielder and J.J. Hardy also went deep for Milwaukee |

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Randy Johnson took sole possession of second place on baseball's career strikeout list Tuesday after getting the Milwaukee Brewers' Mike Cameron to go down swinging in the first inning Tuesday night. It was Johnson's 4,673rd career strikeout, breaking a tie with Roger Clemens and leaving the Arizona Diamondbacks' veteran ace behind only Nolan Ryan, who had 5,714 strikeouts in his career. The lanky 44-year-old left-hander has 288 career victories, tying him with Tommy John for 24th in the |

MILWAUKEE (AP) -Bill Hall wants to play every day, he wants to work out his differences with the front office, and he wants to avoid becoming a distraction in the Milwaukee Brewers clubhouse. That might be a tall order. Hall wasn't willing to address his apparent desire to be traded Tuesday, directing all questions to his agent. ``I'm not going to be a distraction for this team and what it wants to do,'' Hall said. Agent Terry Bross said Tuesday that Hall remains unhappy platooning with Russell Branya |

| (Best E Casino) - The last time Randy Johnson took the mound the bullpen blew his solid performance. Tonight, the Big Unit will try again to lead the Arizona Diamondbacks to victory in the second test of a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park. Johnson gave up just two runs and six hits in seven innings against the San Francisco Giants last Thursday before the bullpen imploded in a 4-3 setback. Johnson did not factor in the outcome and is 4-1 with a 3.83 earned run average in nine star |
