Randy Wolf followed a terrible outing with one of his best of the season. Wolf held the Los Angeles Angels to 2-runs on 3-hits in 7-innings to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 12-2 win over the Angels.
Wolf did run into a few problems in the second inning, surrendering both L.A. runs, but he retired the next 13 batters after that, thanks to a good curve ball.

Casey McGehee also hit his 11th home run of the season when his fly ball bounced off of Tori Hunter’s glove and over the outfield wall.
