Brewers manufacture early run

It's a far cry from how Harvey's Wallbangers did it back in 1982, but the Brewers are up 1-0 after the first inning because of astute baserunning and moving runners over.

Ricky Weeks led off the inning by beating out an infield single, and advanced to third on a broken-bat blooper by J.J. Hardy. Weeks scored on a ground-out by Bill Hall.

Of course, a pessimist could look at the fact the Brewers had runners on second and third with nobody out and the heart of the order coming up and only had one run to show for it.

Still, if Ben Sheets is locked in all game as he was in the first, it may be all the Crew needs.
