Brewers break out in big way
Looper's night heads south By Matthew Leach / MLB.com

The Brewers had barely made a dent offensively for the first four frames, but that changed in a hurry. Two innings and 11 runs later, they were on their way to a romp. Geoff Jenkins singled home the go-ahead run and added a long ball among his four hits, Tony Graffanino ripped a three-run homer and J.J. Hardy pounded out four hits.
