Milwaukee Brewers Notes, Quotes 2008-07-02
--2B Rickie Weeks missed the game in Arizona with a stomach virus. Weeks became so dehydrated he had to be given fluids intravenously.

--1B Prince Fielder, in a 2-for-27 slump on the Brewers' three-city trip, was given his first game off since May 8 in Florida.

--C Mike Rivera made his first start at first base in the major leagues since 2003 with San Diego. Rivera went 2-for-4 with two RBIs and also might have saved the game with an unassisted double play in the eighth. Rivera made a diving catch of a liner by Arizona C Miguel Montero and tagged the bag to double off the runner, allowing the Brewers to keep their 8-6 lead.

--SS J.J. Hardy has a season-high 13-game hitting streak, during which he is batting .377 (20-for-53) with eight doubles, four homers and 12 RBIs.

--RHP Salomon Torres converted his 13th save in 13 chances since taking over as closer for then-injured RHP Eric Gagne in late May.

BY THE NUMBERS: 7-8 -- Brewers' record in interleague play.

QUOTE TO NOTE: "We just want to make sure when he gets back, he's healthy, for his sake and ours." -- Manager Ned Yost, on former closer Eric Gagne, who was activated June 29 after being on the disabled list for more than a month with a shoulder injury.
