Braun Hits First Career Home Run

While most of the Brewers lineup has been struggling as of late Ryan Braun has been hot with the bat since joining the team. He went 3-4 versus the Padres Saturday night and hit his first career Home Run. Braun already has more Home Runs since joining the team than the platoon of Craig Counsell and Tony Graffanino had the entire month of May. Braun looks like a professional at the plate and has seemed very relaxed. He hasn't looked nervous or out of place at all which is nice to see.

Despite Braun's recent performances the Brewers have still lost both games in which he has played. The rest of the lineup needs to kick it into gear, specifically Billy Hall and Johnny Estrada. They haven't been doing much of anything lately.
