Brewers hold on to beat Dodgers

After Dodgers LHP Clayton Kershaw helped the Brewers Monday by walking in two runs for the Crew, it looked like the Brewers would have an easy ride to a win. LF Ryan Braun even helped with a 3-run home run in the sixth inning. Entering the ninth inning, the Brewers were leading 6-2 and starter Manny Parra was on his way to a complete game. Well, Parra needed help. Closer Trevor Hoffman entered the game and was close to blowing his third save when he was able to get Dodgers OF Manny Ramirez to pop up with the bases loaded. The Crew held on to win, 6-5. Game two is Tuesday at 9:10PM CDT.
