Tomo Ohka took a perfect game into the fifth inning before giving up a hit to Conor Jackson. He pitched seven innings and allowed two runs on four hits as the offense gave the righty an early lead.
Carlos Lee gave Ohka an early lead with a two run blast to deep left field in the first scoring J.J. Hardy. The offense would find its groove in the fourth as the team put together a seven run inning. Lyle Overbay would single home Brady Clark and Corey Hart followed with an RBI groundout. Chad Moeller than cleared the bases with a double to left plating three more. Tomo Ohka got in on the run fest as well with an RBI single to bring Moeller home and Clark would come back up to score Ohka before the inning was over.
Jeff Cirillo would add two more in the sixth with a two run shot, his fourth of the season. All said and done the Brewers scored 14 runs on 19 hits and simply dominated Arizona's pitching. Shawn Estes was tagged with the loss. Arizona would eventually plate two runs in the seventh but the game was decided much earlier.
Bill Hall had an amazing night going five for six and scoring three times and just a home run short of going for the cycle. Ohka improved his record to 11-8, going a total of 7-5 in his 17 starts with the Brewers and 4-1 in his last seven appearances. Ohka was traded for on June 10 sending infielder Junior Spivey to the Washington Nationals for the right hander.
Milwaukee heads to Houston to take on the Astros this weekend. Rick Helling (2-0) will take the mound against Roy Oswalt (17-12) Friday night.
