--RHP Dave Bush, whose no-hit bid was spoiled by a one-out homer in the eighth inning by Philadelphia's Matt Stairs, became the first Brewers starter to go seven innings this season. The Brewers were the last major league club to have a starter go seven innings.

--RHP Todd Coffey will close games in the ninth inning if the Brewers have a lead in Houston on Friday or Saturday. RHP Trevor Hoffman, coming off an oblique strain that has sidelined him since midway through spring training, is expected to be activated and return to closing duty Sunday.

--LF Ryan Braun went 11-for-22 with four home runs and nine RBIs in six games in New York and Philadelphia, the first two stops of a three-city trip. Before the start of the trip, Braun was 7-for-33 (.212) with no homers and two RBIs in nine games.
