MILWAUKEE - Kyle Lohse was finally on top of his game. Lohse pitched eight strong innings for his first win in eight starts, Carlos Gomez hit a two-run homer on his bobblehead day and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Philadelphia Phillies 9-1 on Sunday. "I had a good slider working today," Lohse said after his longest outing of the season. "Im finally coming back around where I can snap it off. And Maldy (catcher Martin Maldonado) called a great game and the guys played great defence. So it was just a combination of everything." Scooter Gennett had a two-run triple for the Brewers, who took the final three games of the four-game series. Milwaukee slugger Ryan Braun left after the third inning with a sore right thumb, which has been a lingering problem for him. He struck out in his only plate appearance in the first. "It wasnt real good to start the game and he wanted to play," manager Ron Roenicke said. "But the first at-bat wasnt good again." Gennetts triple highlighted a four-run second inning and Gomezs homer in the sixth off starter Jonathan Pettibone was plenty of insurance for Lohses first victory since beating San Diego on April 22. Lohse (2-6) experienced minor hamstring tightness in his left leg after running the bases during his previous start Tuesday, but showed no ill effects. His only major hiccup was Humberto Quinteros first home run of the season, a shot into the Phillies bullpen in right. Lohse got off to a shaky start, though. The first two batters singled and then Ryan Howard singled with one out. But his line drive was hit hard and right at right fielder Norichika Aoki. Michael Young, who led off with a single, tried to score from second but was out at the plate on a strong throw from Aoki. "The first inning was a little shaky," Roenicke said. "I thought it was huge the throw that Nori made to home to get us an out there. And once he got through that, command got really good." Lohse agreed with his managers assessment of Aokis play. "That got me going, because it was a little sketchy there at first, giving up some hits early," Lohse said. "But after that, kind of settled in and the guys played great defence." The Brewers turned two double plays, one for Lohse and one for closer Jim Henderson in the ninth. After escaping the first, Lohse faced the minimum each inning until the eighth. After two quick outs, Quintero spoiled the shutout bid with a home run. Lohse then struck out pinch-hitter Freddy Galvis. "All his pitches, he got working," Roenicke said. "The fastball was located great, down in the zone. The sliders were all good, some nice curveballs, great changeups. But, he got it all working." Lohse gave up four hits, walked one and struck out six. "Ive got to give Lohse some credit, too," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "He knew how to pitch us. He changed speeds good. Located his fastball good. But, at the same time I feel we could have definitely hit better." The Phillies slipped to 31-33 after opening the series with a 5-1 win that pulled them a game above .500. Jean Segura, who came in leading the NL in hits with 82, singled home two runs in the seventh. Maldonado added a solo homer in the eighth. Henderson, just back from a strained right hamstring, pitched a scoreless ninth. Pettibone (3-2) allowed six runs, four earned, and four hits in 5 1-3 innings. He struck out four but walked two and hit two batters with pitches in his first career start against the Brewers. Milwaukee got to Pettibone in the second and then again in the sixth. Logan Schafer singled in the sixth and then Gomez hit the first pitch from Pettibone into the Brewers bullpen in left for his 11th home run of the season. After Maldonado walked, Manuel brought in Jeremy Horst. The Brewers scored four runs in the second. Pettibone got in trouble right away by making an error. He misplayed a bunt by Gomez, who went to second on Yuniesky Betancourts single. Pettibone then hit Maldonado with a pitch, loading the bases. Gomez scored on Juan Franciscos grounder to first. Gennett, who made his major league debut Tuesday night against Oakland, tripled to right-centre for the first two RBIs of his career. He scored on Lohses sacrifice. NOTES: Schafer pinch hit for Braun and then replaced him in left field. ...

The Celtics closed out their first preseason under Stevens on Wednesday night with a 101-97 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, who rested a lot of their lineup including former Celtics Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. Ty Cobb Jersey .Y. -- Injured Buffalo Sabres forward Marcus Foligno did not practice with the team Monday and head coach Ron Rolston said its unlikely hell play in Wednesdays season opener in Detroit.CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Sitting on the top of the dugout bench pregame, Athletics manager Bob Melvin looked over Great American Ball Park and figured it was a perfect stop for his struggling team. "Given the way weve been struggling on offence, I want them to think, Yeah, this is a good place to hit," Melvin said. So much for that idea. Even in one of the most hitter-friendly places, the As cant do much of anything these days. Jay Bruce homered and made a run-saving catch on the warning track, and Mat Latos pitched into the eighth inning against Oaklands slumping lineup on Tuesday night, leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 3-1 victory. The Reds had dropped seven of nine and were coming off what players called an embarrassing weekend against St. Louis -- losses of 13-3 and 15-2. They found an American League team struggling even more. The West-leading Athletics have lost five of six, getting shut out twice during that span. It was nearly three -- Derek Norris hit a two-out homer in the ninth off Aroldis Chapman that ended Oaklands streak of 18 innings without a run. "Youve just got to play your way through it, fight your way through it, have better at-bats, get grittier, find a way to get the guy home," Melvin said. "Were not swinging our bats, theres no doubt about that. "You go through these periods, yet you try to minimize them so they dont go on too long." Latos (11-3) allowed four hits through 7 1-3 shutout innings, leaving him 3-0 in his last four starts. Chapman gave up his sixth homer of the season while getting his 26th save in 30 chances. Bruce hit his 23rd homer off Dan Straily (6-6), who has lost all of his four starts since being called back up from the minors. The right fielder also went a long way to run down Josh Reddicks fly ball to the warning track in the fourth, saving a run. Melvin decided to hit for Straily in the fifth inning after catcher Stephen Vogt led off with a single. The As trailed 2-0 and Straily had thrown 75 pitches already. "Its not so much frustrating as you never want to stop pitching," Straily said. "I felt like it was all right. I got out of some jams. Obviouslyy you never want to get up a home run.dddddddddddd Every time you go out there, you want to throw zeroes. It could have been worse, could have been a lot better." The As made their first visit to Great American Ball Park -- opened in 2003 -- hoping to break out of their offensive slump in a hitter-friendly place. The As are only 8-9 since the All-Star break. Heading into the interleague series, the As were batting .218 in their last 20 games, getting blanked four times. They were coming off a 4-0 loss to Texas on Sunday. The As stranded runners in scoring position in the first, third, fifth and eighth innings, setting themselves up for another bad night. Coco Crisp tripled over first base with one out in the third but failed to score as the next two batters popped out. Their best chance came in the fifth, when they loaded the bases on Vogts single, second baseman Brandon Phillips error and a walk. Yoenis Cespedes grounded into a forceout. Cincinnati didnt get much offence, either, but this time it was enough. Bruce led off the second inning with a drive to left. Phillips singled home another run in the fourth, which was Strailys final inning. He failed to last five innings for the third start in a row and for the seventh time in 18 starts overall this season. Shin-Soo Choo led off the fifth with a double off left-hander Jerry Blevins and came around when the reliever fielded Derrick Robinsons bunt and threw wildly to first for an error. NOTES: Oakland is 13-6 in interleague play, Cincinnati 7-9. The As swept their two-game series in Oakland. ... Reddick was hitless in four at-bats, leaving him in an 0-for-16 slump. ... Eric Sogard extended his hitting streak to a career-high 12 games. ... The Reds plan to activate RH reliever Jonathan Broxton off the DL before Wednesdays game. C Ryan Hanigan (wrist) and LF Ryan Ludwick (shoulder) are expected back by the end of the week. ... RHP Bartolo Colon tries for his 15th victory on Wednesday, facing Cincinnatis Homer Bailey (6-10). Colon has gone at least six innings and allowed three runs or fewer in his last 15 starts, the longest streak by an Athletics pitcher since at least 1916. ' ' '
