06/02/2008 - Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Prince Fielder launched a game-winning home run in the eighth and the Milwaukee Brewers survived a sloppy ninth, pulling out a 4-3 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the opener of a three-game set.
Fielder finished with three hits and a heads-up stolen base, while scoring twice and Bill Hall had an RBI and scored for the Brewers.
Guillermo Mota (2-3) pitched a perfect eighth for the win, Milwaukee's fourth straight.
Chris Snyder doubled and homered, driving in two of the Diamondbacks three runs while Mark Reynolds had the other RBI and two singles for Arizona, which had a two-game win streak snapped. Arizona has now dropped six of its last eight overall.
Prince Fielder greeted Arizona's Doug Slaten (0-2) in the eighth with a leadoff homer to center, giving Milwaukee a 4-3 advantage heading to the ninth.
Salomon Torres came on to close out the game in the ninth but Reynolds dribbled a single and moved to second on Jason Kendall's errant throw to first. Justin Upton then reached on a Hall throwing error and Snyder moved both runners into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt for the first out. Torres bared down and got Augie Ojeda to pop out and retired Stephen Drew on strikes to end the game, notching his sixth save of the season.
Jeff Suppan fanned six over seven effective innings of three-run ball for Milwaukee. The right-hander allowed seven hits and two walks. Doug Davis was equally effective over six-plus innings, allowing three runs - one earned - on six hits and two walks for Arizona.
Arizona got on the board first in the second inning. Upton singled to center with two out and Snyder brought him around on a double to right.
Milwaukee answered in the home half. Fielder singled to center, leading off, moved to second on a wild pitch, and stole third when Davis paid the hefty first-bagger no mind. It proved costly as Fielder came in to score on a Hall sacrifice fly.
The D'Backs went back on top in the third. Drew worked a leadoff walk and Chris Young singled to right before Reynolds brought home Drew on a two-out infield single. Young was thrown out trying to score from second on the play, ending the frame.
Snyder drilled a home run to center leading off the seventh, extending the D'Backs lead to 3-1.
The Brewers came back in the home half to tie the game at three. Hall singled and J.J. Hardy worked a walk, starting off the frame to chase Davis from the game. Chad Qualls came on for Arizona and promptly pulled Orlando Hudson off first with an errant throw on a sacrifice bunt offering from Kendall, leaving runners safe at every base. Pinch-hitter Gabe Kapler then reached on a throwing error by third baseman Reynolds, with Hall and Hardy coming around to score. Qualls came back to get Rickie Weeks on strikes but re-loaded the bases by walking Mike Cameron. Ryan Braun then hit into an inning-ending double play.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
