PHOENIX -- Manny Parra was exceptionally good in the month of June. But in the eyes of the league's broadcasters and sportswriters, Arizona's Dan Haren was better.

Haren was named the National League Pitcher of the Month on Wednesday after going 3-0 with a 1.32 ERA and 36 strikeouts in 41 innings. Parra drew some votes after going 5-0 with a 2.59 ERA and 23 strikeouts in 31 1/3 innings.

Parra's hot streak goes back even further. He is 7-0 with a 3.04 ERA over his past eight starts, after going 1-2 with a 5.03 ERA in his first eight.

He'll try to continue his run of success on Thursday against the D-backs and ace right-hander Brandon Webb. The Brewers missed Haren in the four-game series.

"You're seeing a young Major League pitcher evolve into a pretty good Major League pitcher," manager Ned Yost said after Parra's last start. "This is a guy that has been at the top of our prospect list for a long time, and now he has gotten to the big leagues and started to feel comfortable and have some success."

Other pitchers receiving votes for Player of the Month consideration were the Cardinals' Kyle Lohse (5-0, 3.00 ERA) and the Padres' Heath Bell (4-0, 1.88 ERA).

In a vote of Brewers traveling media, Parra was named the Brewers' pitcher of the month for June. Right fielder Corey Hart was named the team's player of the month after hitting .265 with eight home runs and 24 RBIs.

Hart should be back in the lineup for Thursday's series finale against the D-backs but second baseman Rickie Weeks will be a game-time decision and left fielder Ryan Braun will probably be out. Weeks did not start the team's past two games after suffering a stomach ailment, and Braun is in an 0-for-18 skid and sat out Wednesday partly to rest a sore right hand.

Weeks received two liters of intravenous fluids on Tuesday and spent the entire day sleeping in his hotel room, but was back at Chase Field on Wednesday, took batting practice and then led off the eighth inning with a go-ahead home run.

Yost said Weeks would "probably" be back.

"We'll see how he feels," Yost said.

Pitching matchup
MIL: LHP Manny Parra (8-2, 3.95 ERA)
Parra halted Minnesota's 10-game winning streak in his last start. He went seven innings of shutout ball while allowing only two hits and recording six strikeouts in the Brewers' 5-1 victory at the Metrodome. On June 4 against the D-backs, Parra went seven innings and only allowed one earned run while striking out eight.

ARI: RHP Brandon Webb (12-4, 3.21 ERA)
Webb lost his first game of the season against the Marlins, after nine victories, but got a measure of revenge in his last start. It wasn't easy, as Webb lasted only six-plus innings and left with two on and no out in the seventh. But Webb showed flashes of his early-season form in the victory. He struck out eight and was particularly effective once Florida got runners in scoring position in the second, third and fourth innings -- he left four of those runners stranded. What may have helped Webb as much as anything is that he received a nice jolt of run support. A five-run sixth inning put the game away for Arizona.

Tidbits
Wednesday's comeback win ensured at least a .500 road trip for the Brewers, who are at the end of a three-city, 10-game trip. ... Shortstop J.J. Hardy hit an RBI single in the sixth inning on Wednesday to extend his hitting streak to 14 games, the longest run by a Brewer this season. ... Right-hander Mark DiFelice allowed one run on three hits over five innings on Wednesday in his first start for Triple-A Nashville since the Brewers sent him down last week to clear a spot for Eric Gagne. ... How popular is former D-back Craig Counsell in Arizona? As Brewers scouts were preparing for the First-Year Player Draft last month at Milwaukee's downtown Hilton Hotel, Republican presidential candidate John McCain happened to drop in. Some of the scouts asked about the campaign, but, "all John McCain wanted to talk about was Craig Counsell," Yost said with a chuckle. Counsell, the 2001 NLCS MVP for Arizona, started at second base for the Brewers on Wednesday and drew a nice ovation when he led off the game.
