08/10/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Playing without Ryan Braun and Corey Hart, the Milwaukee Brewers were unable to extend their winning streak over the Diamondbacks. As Arizona starter Barry Enright builds on his case to be part of his club's 2011 rotation, he wouldn't mind seeing the All-Stars rest another day.
Enright aims for a third straight winning decision this evening in the continuation of a four-game series with Milwaukee at Miller Park.
A 2007 second-round pick out of Pepperdine, Enright joined Arizona's rotation on June 30 and is 3-2 with a 2.81 earned run average. The 24-year-old is 2-0 with a 2.42 ERA over his last four starts, though, and is coming off Thursday's victory over Washington in which he allowed two solo homers over six innings of an 8-4 triumph.
The right-handed Enright is 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA in two road starts this year, and the rookie faces Milwaukee for the first time in his career tonight.
He'll try to pitch Arizona to a second win in a row over Milwaukee after the Brewers saw the Diamondbacks rally for a 7-4 extra-inning victory in last night's opener to halt the team's seven-game winning streak over the D-Backs. Arizona, which was outscored 26-6 in getting swept in three games at home by the Brewers in May, picked up its first victory over Milwaukee since May 2 of last season.
Gerardo Parra scored Mark Reynolds with a ground out in the ninth inning off Milwaukee closer John Axford, then plated three runs off former closer Trevor Hoffman in the 10th frame. Stephen Drew, who has reached base safely in 16 consecutive games, plated two runs with a single before pinch-hitter Ryan Church added a run-scoring single to right.
"We hung in there after things weren't going our way early," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. "We just hope we didn't self-destruct then and we were clutch at the end. We got the job done when we needed to. Our bullpen was great."
Chris Young added a home run to give him his second career 20-homer, 20-stolen base season for Arizona, which has won four of five overall.
Prince Fielder drove in a run in the first inning for his sixth RBI in his last four games for the Brewers, who had a three-game winning streak halted.
"We had some opportunities early in the game," Brewers manager Ken Macha said. "We left six men on base in the first three innings,"
Fielder was also one of three Milwaukee players hit by Arizona starter Ian Kennedy. Both benches were warned after Milwaukee starter Chris Narveson threw behind Rusty Ryal in the fourth inning.
With Braun (wrist) and Hart (back) both ailing and the Brewers having traded Jim Edmonds to Cincinnati earlier in the day, Macha had just one healthy player on his bench in backup catcher George Kottaras. Shortstop Alcides Escobar started in right field and Hart was able to pinch hit late in the game. He is questionable for tonight, as is Braun.
Manny Parra would love to have the duo in the lineup tonight, seeing as he is 0-4 over his last five outings with an 8.56 ERA. The Milwaukee starter has allowed at least four runs in four of those games, including Wednesday's outing versus the Cubs in which he was charged with six runs on six hits and three walks over 5 2/3 innings of a loss. He also struck out eight.
The 27-year-old southpaw, who hasn't won since July 3, is 3-9 with a 5.67 ERA this year, but 1-0 with a 0.86 ERA in four career meetings with the Diamondbacks. The first three were starts until he threw two scoreless innings of relief on May 8.

The Indianapolis Colts know that winning the Super Bowl last season put a huge target on their backs, and they expect opponents to go all-out to knock them from the top of the mountain.
They’ll get their first test from the New Orleans Saints this Thursday night. The defending champs had nothing but good things to say about the New Orleans defense this past week, praising their opponents’ pass rush and run-stopping abilities.
"They play very aggressively," head coach Tony Dungy told the New Orleans Times-Picayune. "They play a lot of man-to-man coverage, and they come after you. They have good pass rushers, and they're going to try to pressure us, I'm sure."
Both center Jeff Saturday and quarterback Peyton Manning gave New Orleans’ front four props, admitting keeping guys like Will Smithand Charles Grant contained would be a tall task for the offensive line.
New Orleans ranked second in total defense during the preseason at a sportsbook, allowing just under 233 yards per game. Last season, the defense finished 11th in the league after giving up 307.3 yards and 20.1 points per contest.
Not so sound on the ground
If Indianapolis' efficient offense has a weakness it has to be its running attack. The Colts one-two-punch of Dominic Rhodes and Joseph Addai is no longer, leaving the bulk of the carries to Addai, the second-year back out of LSU.
Former Saskatchewan Roughrider Kenton Keith was named Addai’s backup this week after beating out DeDe Dorsey for the second-string position. Indy has only three backs on the roster right now, including fullback Luke Lawton, and coach Dungy is aware of the thinness of his ground game. Sports Betting lines on the game can be found at BettingExpress.com
“We’ll continue to look. Luke Lawton’s done a good job for us too. So probably getting a third true tailback is something that we’d like to do,” Dungy told the Indiana Tribune-Star.
Last season, Addai rushed for over 1,000 yards in his rookie campaign and scored seven touchdowns on the ground.
Brees says bring it on
Opening the season on the road against the defending Super Bowl champions is not the way most teams would like to kick off their year – unless you’re the New Orleans Saints or their quarterback Drew Brees. This internet Sportsbooks had the Saints as the favorites.
Brees told the New Orleans Times-Picayune that he is excited to get the regular season started and the Colts are a great challenge for him and his teammates. The 28-year-old QB, entering his second season with the Saints, is expecting a wild environment in the RCA Dome this Thursday when the franchise celebrates its 2007-2007 championship.
Brees said he sees the opening game scheduling as an honor and a testament to how well New Orleans did last season. The Saints missed facing the Colts in the Super Bowl by one game, losing to the Chicago Bearsin the NFC Championship game.
"I mean, people think we can hang with these guys," Brees told reporters. "Even if they didn't, it wouldn't matter what they thought because as a team we're very confident. We know what we can do. We're not satisfied where we finished the season last year. And we've been looking forward to this opportunity for a long time."
SportsBooks ready for a shootout
Oddsmakers are preparing for some fireworks this Thursday when the NFL season kicks off. online Sportsbooks have Thursday’s total set at a whopping 52 points, accounting for two of the league’s most explosive offenses.
“This is like must-see TV,” Saints cornerback and former Colt Jason David told the Baton Rouge Advocate. “It’s two exciting offenses with great players. You’ve got a lot of star power on offense. At any given time a big play can happen. If I was a fan, I wouldn’t miss a snap.”
New Orleans, who ranked No.1 in total offense last season, can go blow-for-blow with the Colts’ attack. Head coach Sean Payton’s offensive schemes will get even better production out of Drew Brees, Reggie Bush and receiver Marques Colston now that they’ve each had a season of playing together under their belts.
The Saints and Colts were the top two passing teams in the NFL last year, but while Indianapolis managed to put up almost 27 points per game, New Orleans struggled to capitalize on their efforts. The Saints ranked fifth in points per game.
“Yards are great,” running backDeuce McAllister told reporters, “but to be able to score more touchdowns would be important for us.”
