MILWAUKEE -- Brewers manager Ron Roenicke knows theres only one way Milwaukee is going to salvage the season. http://www.redskinsrookiestore.com/Redskins-Spencer-Long-Jersey/ . Kyle Lohse did his part. Juan Francisco and Carlos Gomez each hit home runs and Lohse blanked Miami for six innings as the Brewers started the second half of the season with a 2-0 victory over the Marlins on Friday night. "It felt good to get the second half started this way," Lohse said. "We just to keep playing some clean games and just keep it going." Lohse (6-7) has owned the Marlins over his career. He came in 5-2 in nine starts, including a 3-0 record with the St. Louis Cardinals last season. He was in command all the way this time, too. He struck out five, allowed five hits but no walks. It was his fourth win in his last five decisions. The Brewers (39-56) are 17 games below .500 and last in the NL Central. The victory over the lowly Marlins started them on their way. "I want to play good baseball," Roenicke said. "We played good baseball tonight." Francisco hit an opposite-field home run in the fourth, driving a 3-2 pitch from Jacob Turner (3-2) into the left-field seats. Gomez, fresh off his first All-Star appearance, curled a two-out, 0-2 pitch around the left-field foul pole in the fifth inning. He flipped his bat and hesitated, watching the ball sail toward the second tier in left, before racing full speed around the bases. Francisco has 12 home runs and Gomez 15 this season. "Whether we get back to .500 or not, we got to really play well," Roenicke said. "Theres no doubt about it. Weve got to play really good baseball." Brewers tested his theory in the sixth. The results were good and could have been bad had Lohse not made key pitches. Third baseman Jeff Bianchi helped Lohse. Giancarlo Stanton drilled a pitch that headed down the line and looked like it was a sure hit. Bianchi lunged fully extended and snared the ball. He held it up for the ump to see that he had it. Gomez made it difficult for Lohse when he muffed a fly ball that was ruled a double. Logan Morrison hit a towering fly ball that Gomez tracked toward the wall in left centre. The ball deflected off Gomezs glove as he tried to make the catch. Marcell Ozuna flied out to Gomez to end the inning. John Axford and Jim Henderson each pitched a scoreless inning before Francisco Rodriguez pitched the ninth for his 10th consecutive save. Turner faced the Brewers for the second time this season. He took a no-decision in the Marlins 5-4 win on June 11. "I definitely didnt have my best stuff," Turner said. "No excuse for the home runs. Francisco, I knew he got it. Hes got power to the opposite field. Gomez was an 0-2 terrible pitch. The put good swings on bad pitches." Lohse has had trouble keeping the ball in the park this season. The Arizona Diamondbacks hit three home runs in a 5-4 loss in his last start before the All-Star break. That pushed his total to an NL-leading 19 and a tie with Dan Haren of the Washington Nationals. Morrison came the closest to making it 20 in the fourth when he skied a pitch toward the right-field pole, but the ball turned just in front of the pole. Turner was done after hitting Rickie Weeks, the first batter in the sixth. Ryan Webb came on and retired three batters. Turner went five innings, gave up five hits, walked four and struck out six. "It was an uphill battle all night," Turner said. "Some days you have it, some days you dont." Ryan Braun returned to the starting lineup after coming off the bereavement list on Thursday. The Brewers left-fielder last played July 9, a day after leaving the 15-day disabled list with a sore right thumb. He missed a total of five games, but not the continuing Biogenesis suspension rumours. Braun went 0 for 3 off Turner before being replaced by Logan Schafer in the top of the seventh. "It feels like it has been awhile and it has been awhile," Braun said. "I havent done a lot of baseball stuff over the last 10 days, and I could tell." NOTES: The massive stage for Paul McCartneys sold-out concert Tuesday evening at Miller Park left quite a footprint. There was a wide area of dead grass that stretched from the front of the warning track well into centre field. Some of it had been re-sodded. Neither manager seemed concerned with the overall condition of the field. ... The Marlins reinstated reliever Chad Qualls (2-1, 2.89 ERA, 37 appearances) from the paternity list. The team made room for the him by optioning LHP Duane Below to Triple-A New Orleans on July 14. ... Turner had made eight starts coming into the game since being called up on May 31 from Triple-A New Orleans. His 2.34 ERA ranked seventh in the NL and ninth in majors.http://www.redskinsrookiestore.com/Redskins-Kirk-Cousins-Jersey/ . -- If Henry Burris has his way, he will be the starting quarterback to lead the Hamilton Tiger-Cats back to the Grey Cup next year. http://www.redskinsrookiestore.com/Redskins-Sean-Taylor-Jersey/ . The 17-year-old native of Marystown, N.L., pulled out of Skate Canada International last month in Saint John, N.B., with the same problem. http://www.redskinsrookiestore.com/Redskins-Terrelle-Pryor-Jersey/ .

Bigger might be better after all for the Western Sydney Wanderers and if their first derby at ANZ Stadium pulls a huge crowd, more Sydney derbies might be hosted there.The Wanderers will open their season against crosstown rivals Sydney FC at the ground on October 8, in a match that is all but certain to attract more fans than any previous meeting between the two clubs.While the fixture is only slated for Sydneys biggest stadium due to the three-year redevelopment of Pirtek Stadium, Wanderers chief executive John Tsatsimas has suggested it could be a blueprint for the future.If its a success well look at every opportunity that is available to the club and for all the supporters to be able to attend a match should they wish to do so, he told AAP.And there is a massive demand for that product of football in the Sydney area.The Homebush venue is also due to undergo an upgrade after Parramatta is complete, however the ground is still expected to remain fully opeerational during its own upgrade. http://www.redskinsrookiestore.com/Redskins-Jamison-Crowder-Jersey/. .Crowds at both Allianz and Pirtek Stadiums have regularly reached capacity in recent years, including at Moore Park where there are 10,000 more seats than is expected at the new Parramatta ground.Tickets only go on sale for this seasons opening-round fixture on Thursday, but it is already believed it could break domestic attendance records for soccer in Australia.Organisers are hopeful more than 55,436 fans will show up for the fixture, the mark set by the 2006/07 A-League grand final between Adelaide United and Melbourne Victory.Were all geared for that, Tsatsimas said.Hopefully its a watershed moment in Australian football in that were able to break a domestic record on that day.The Wanderers will share their matches between ANZ and Spotless Stadium during the upgrade at Parramatta.
