PHILADELPHIA -- Phillies starter Cliff Lee experienced cramps and closer
Jonathan Papelbon was too sick to pitch.
Cheap Los
Angeles Angels of Anaheim Jerseys . Fortunately, theres nothing
wrong with Domonic Brown. Brown continued his recent surge with a homer, triple
and four RBIs to back up the effective pitching of Lee and the Philadelphia
Phillies held on for a 7-5 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. Brown
also singled and had a chance for the cycle when he came up in the seventh, but
walked. He had three homers and eight RBIs against the Brewers in the weekend
series. "Im just trying to keep it going, continue to improve, keep my stroke
small and not try to do too much," Brown said. Brown said fans in the outfield
were talking to him about the cycle, but "if I had a chance to go three, Im
going three for sure." "The skills and talent are there," Phillies manager
Charlie Manuel said of Brown. "The more consistent he gets, the better hes going
to get." Freddy Galvis went 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI and Jimmy Rollins
doubled and had two hits for the Phillies, who snapped a three-game losing
streak and improved to 19-6 when scoring more than three runs. Cliff Lee (7-2)
was practically unhittable through seven innings, allowing three hits with 11
strikeouts and no walks before running into trouble in the eighth when the
Brewers scored four runs. Lee got two outs in the eighth before he was pulled.
He gave up three runs and seven hits total. Lee said he started feeling cramps
throughout his body in the frame. At one point during the inning, catcher Erik
Kratz came to the mound before a longer-than-usual meeting with pitching coach
Rich Dubee. "I was a little dehydrated or something," Lee said. "I wanted to
stay in the game and keep pitching but at the same time, I want to be smart."
Jonathan Lucroy hit a three-run triple and Jeff Bianchi went 2-for-4 with an RBI
for the Brewers. Antonio Bastardo earned his first save in three chances with a
shaky ninth. Bianchis RBI single pulled Milwaukee within two runs, and the
Brewers had the bases loaded with two outs. But Bastardo got pinch-hitter Martin
Maldonado to fly out to centre to end the game. Philadelphias regular closer
Jonathan Papelbon, who has converted all 11 of his save opportunities, wasnt
used because he was ill. "He was very sick today," Manuel said. Mike Fiers (1-4)
had the shortest outing as a starter of his career, giving up seven runs and
seven hits in 1 2-3 innings. It was the third start of the season for Fiers, who
has been shuffled between the bullpen and starting rotation. "It was just bad
pitching on my part," Fiers said. "Its tough on a team to get going when the
pitcher doesnt do well in the first inning." The right-hander got the first two
outs of the game before the Phillies scored five runs, highlighted by Browns
three-run homer to right. It was the sixth homer in the last six games for
Brown, who upped his NL-leading total to 16. "The way the scouting report is, it
looks like I didnt read it," Fiers said of Browns homer. "Browns been crushing
that pitch for a month and I didnt get it in enough. Its embarrassing to me. I
made it tough on the team. They battled back and that makes it even worse. We
could have won this game." The Phillies got a break in the second inning when
Bianchi, the Brewers shortstop, committed a throwing error that allowed Ben
Revere to reach first to open the inning. After getting to third on a steal and
Rollins single, Revere scored on Ryan Howards sacrifice fly. When Brown tripled
home Rollins, Brewers manager Ron Roenicke lifted Fiers, who has a 12.66 ERA in
his starts this season. "Just the life of his fastball and his confidence,"
Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said of what is ailing Fiers. "Its tough to dig a
big hole with (Lee) on the mound." Lee retired nine straight batters between the
first and fourth innings but had problems in the eighth. The Brewers scored four
runs -- all with two outs -- in the eighth, chasing Lee in the process.
Norichika Aoki slapped a single to left to score Rickie Weeks for Milwaukees
first run. Gomez followed with the fourth single of the inning that ended Lees
day and put runners on first and second for right-handed reliever Justin De
Fratus. De Fratus walked pinch-hitter Aramis Ramirez to load the bases for
Lucroy. Lucroy hit a liner off the top of the metal fence above the wall just to
the right of the foul pole in left. Third-base umpire Tom Hallion originally
ruled it a home run, but the call was changed to a triple after the umpires
checked the replay. Hallion, speaking to a pool reporter afterward, said he
thought the ball hit the green wall behind the fence. Once the umpires realized
the ball hit the railing, they used their judgment to rule Lucroy would have
reached third. The reversal came a day after Hallion, the crew chief, admitted
an error was made when second-base umpire Mike Estabrook called Kyle Kendrick
out on a pickoff attempt for the second out of the ninth inning in the Brewers
4-3 win although replays showed that shortstop Jean Segura didnt have the ball
when he applied the tag. The three-run hit brought Milwaukee within 7-4, but De
Fratus got Yuniesky Betancourt to line out to centre to end the inning. Lucroy
went 1-for-4, finishing the three-game series 8-for-13 with three homers and
eight RBIs. The Brewers, who won the first two games of the three-game set,
never have swept the Phillies in Philadelphia. Notes: Manuel said third baseman
Michael Young, who has missed the last five games while on the bereavement list,
could join the team on Monday. ... Ryan Braun entered 8-for-16 with three homers
off Lee, but finished 1-for-3 against the Phillies left-hander. ... Segura, who
leads the league in average (.352) and hits (75), didnt start but grounded out
as a pinch-hitter in the ninth. . Phillies right-hander Kyle Kendrick (5-3,
3.27) is scheduled to oppose Miami right-hander Tom Koehler (0-3, 3.22) when the
teams open a three-game series in Philadelphia at 7:05 Monday night. . The
Brewers send right-hander Marco Estrada (4-3, 4.96) to the mound on Monday
against left-hander Tommy Milone (5-5, 4.04) when they host Oakland in the first
of a three-game series at 8:10 p.m.

upset of Virginia Tech.Fortunately for the Yellow Jackets, they came up with
enough big plays to beat Virginia.Marcus Marshall ran 67 yards for a touchdown,
Justin Thomas threw a 54-yard scoring pass to Clinton Lynch and Qua Searcy broke
loose for a 60-yard TD, leading Georgia Tech to a 31-17 victory over the
Cavaliers on Saturday.As if that wasnt enough, Lance Austin sealed the win with
a dazzling 24-yard interception return for a touchdown, showing off several
nifty moves.It took us a while get going, Marshall said.Georgia Tech (7-4, 4-4
Atlantic Coast Conference) struggled through most of the first half and went to
the locker room trailing 10-7. Marshalls career-long run in front of the
Cavaliers bench accounted for more than half of the Yellow Jackets 111 yards at
the break.But Virginia (2-9, 1-6) couldnt hold on with Matt Johns starting at
quarterback for the first time this season. He was 27 of 44 for 220 yards,
including a 1-yard touchdown to Ryan Santoro that cut the gap to 24-17 with 7:18
remaining. But Johns also had three interceptions in the second half, including
the pick by Austin that finished off Virginia.He played well for a long, long
time, Mendenhall said of Johns, who reclaimed the starting job he held last
season. He did the best he could.Marshall finished with 127 yards on 16 carries.
Thomas, who didnt play the previous week in an upset of Virginia Tech because of
an injury, completed 5 of 10 passes for 122 yards in his final game at Bobby
Dodd Stadium.I have a lot of great memories in this stadium, the senior
quarterback said. We did a lot of great things in our careers. It was a great
moment.TAKEAWAYSVirginia: A year to forget -- boy, that must sound familiar to
Wahoo fans -- is mercifully winding down. The Cavaliers were doomed by another
second-half meltdown, which has become a familiar theme. They have been
outscored 183-114 over the final two quarters this season.Georgia Tech: The
trriple-option offense had all sorts of blocking breakdowns, most notably when
coach Paul Johnson decided to go for it on fourth-and-1 at his own 29.

gain on a play, and Johnson griped that his team missed all three of its key
blocks. But the Yellow Jackets avoided the sort of upset that wouldve really
turned up the heat on Johnson, whose job security has been questioned with a new
athletic director coming aboard.FIELD GOAL WOESVirginia has another tough day in
the kicking game.Sam Hayward missed from 31 and 42 yards, though he did manage
to connect from 30 yards. That leaves him 3 of 7 for the season and the
Cavaliers at 4 of 9 overall. They havent made a kick longer than 36 yards.TOUGH
DAYGeorgia Techs Brad Stewart dropped what like a sure touchdown pass in the
third quarter, getting some 10 yards behind the secondary but bobbling away a
throw that hit him right in stride.It only got worse for the sophomore receiver.
Later in the period, he sustained what appeared to be a potentially serious left
knee injury while returning a punt. Stewart had to be helped off the field and
didnt return.UP NEXTVirginia: Finishes its first year under coach Bronco
Mendenhall next Saturday at Virginia Tech, which has won 12 straight games in
the series. The Cavaliers need an upset to avoid tying the school record for
most losses in a season.Georgia Tech: Closes the regular season on the road
against state rival Georgia. The Bulldogs have won 13 of the last 15 meetings
between the teams, including a 13-7 victory in 2015 that turned out to be the
final game at Georgia for coach Mark Richt.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at
