Casey McGehee, George Kottaras and Prince Fielder each homered as the Brewers stopped the Cardinals 4-1 in their series opener in St. Louis on Thursday night.

McGehee hit a solo shot in the 2nd to get the Brewers on the board and then Kottaras added a two run blast in the 5th inning.  Fielder added his 18th round tripper of the season with a solo job in the 8th.

Randy Wolf pitched 6 and a third innings, giving up just 1 run on 4 hits to notch the win.  Cameron Lowe pitched out of an 8th inning jam with two out and two on, retiring Albert Pujols to preserve the league.  John Axford pitched the 9th for his 9th save of the season.

Gallon Carrys His Weight Well (AUDIO)

July 2, 2010 By

The Milwaukee Bucks final 2nd round pick in last month’s NBA Draft was 6’9, 295 pound forward Tiny Gallon out of Oklahoma.  Gallon left Oklahoma after just one season when the NCAA began investigating his recruitment.

The big forward has seen his playing weight balloon to over 300 pounds, but he has still shown a soft touch to hit the outside jumper.  He says he learned to shoot the jumper when he was a much smaller player.

Gallon takes exception when people say he has a weight problem.  Gallon says that he’s always been comfortable with his weight and never put weight he lost back on.  He currently is listed at 295 pounds, but says 285 would be his ideal weight.

Gallon is on the Bucks Summer League roster which begins play in Las Vegas later this month.
