=== Milwaukee Brewers Team Report - May 20 === (My Sportsbook) - The Brewers play the rubber match of a three-game set against the Montreal Expos this afternoon in Puerto Rico. Wes Obermueller makes his second consecutive start against the Expos and is coming off his second win of the season. The righthander allowed three runs over six innings last Wednesday in a 4-3 triumph. That marked Obermueller's only career appearance versus the Expos. Obermueller, who will be making his ninth appearance and seventh start of the season, hasn't lost since his first outing - April 9 versus Houston. The start of last night's game was delayed 59 minutes by a rainstorm at Hiram Bithorn Stadium and more wet weather arrived late in the game, but despite the conditions Milwaukee came out on top, 6-3. Bill Hall hit a three-run triple to highlight a four-run fourth inning. Craig Counsell finished 4-for-5 with a run scored, while Keith Ginter and Ben Grieve each drove in a run for the Brewers, who have won two of their last three games. Prior to the game, Milwaukee third baseman Wes Helms slipped and fell on a rain-soaked ramp leading from the clubhouse to the dugout. Helms suffered a sprained right knee and had to be sent home for an MRI. First baseman Lyle Overbay went 0-for-2 with a pair of walks last night and had his career-high 18-game hitting streak broken.
