MILWAUKEE -- With Jonathan Lucroy no longer around, the Milwaukee Brewers have needed Ryan Braun to carry an even heavier offensive load.Braun continued his torrid second half by hitting two homers, doubling and driving in six runs Sunday as the Brewers avoided a sweep with a 7-3 win over the Cincinnati Reds.Hes really locked in and producing, for sure, Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said. We were worried a little about what would happen after losing the hitter (Jonathan Lucroy) behind him, but hes responded really well and hes certainly been swinging the bat great.Braun hit a two-run double in the first inning, a three-run homer in the second and his 22nd home run in the fourth.It was Brauns fourth multihomer game of the season and the 26th of his career. He is hitting .381 (32 for 84) with nine home runs and 21 RBI in 23 games since the All-Star break.Over the last couple weeks Ive swung the bat pretty well and the pitches that I have gotten to hit, I havent missed many of them, Braun said. Thats what leads to sustained success.Joey Votto homered, doubled and drove in all three Reds runs.Wily Peralta (5-8) allowed one run on four hits over six innings to earn his first win since June 11.Making the most of a second chance, Peralta has a 2.25 ERA in two starts since being recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Aug. 8. He was clocked as high as 99 mph Sunday.It feels great, Peralta said. I think Im in good shape right now. My mechanics have been pretty good. Thats one of the reasons my velocity has been there, has been up in my last few starts. Just being consistent in my delivery, thats all.Rookie Cody Reed (0-7) was tagged for six runs on five hits and three walks before being pulled after Brauns home run in the second. Braun homered later off reliever Keyvius Sampson.Reed needed 46 pitches to get through the first inning. Nine Brewers came to the plate, combining for two hits, three walks, a hit batter and four stolen bases.I just wasnt making very good pitches, Reed said. Its not like Im trying to make bad pitches. I just, like I said, getting out there and compete the best I can, and Im not giving my team a very good chance to win. Ever since Ive been here, every time I go out, Im not giving them a very good chance. Its frustrating for me.Billy Hamilton had three hits for the Reds, including two doubles. He scored from first on Vottos bloop double in the sixth.Votto hit his 19th homer of the season off Carlos Torres in the eighth.GOING DEEPMilwaukee has homered in 17 straight games, its longest run since setting the franchise record at 20 games from July 1-24, 2008.GETTING INTO THE ACTBrewers 1B Chris Carter stole his first base in 182 games when he swiped second in the first inning.

Adam Lowry Jersey . -- The plastic that was taped across the lockers in Oaklands clubhouse came down and the champagne that was on ice went back into the cooler.The second day of StarCraft II semifinals at IEM Gyeonggi featured another exhilarating five-game series. Ultimately, Kim Stats Dae Yeob (Protoss) triumphed over Han ByuL Ji Won (Zerg), 3-2, in the quest for the $15,000 first prize.On paper, Stats entered as a massive favorite over ByuL. Stats was on the verge of claiming the title for the best Protoss in the world and ByuL was still inconsistent in tournament results. ByuL entered his matchup against Stats with plenty of question marks. He was a strong player with the power of creativity on his side in terms of builds and macro timings, but his understanding of fundamental strategy was lacking. Stats was a player that outplays the opponent and typically crushed matches with his deep understanding of StarCraft II. Even though the matchup seemed one-sided at the outset, it ended up going the full distance for an entertaining semifinal set.Game 1: Vaani Research StationStats took advantage of the holes in ByuLs early strategies with a Stargate start for harassment and initiation. Stats Phoenix timings and control allowed him to dictate the pace and movement on the map as well as exploiting army sizes and relative economies to best advantage. He then transitioned into Carriers for the ultimate finish while ByuL played defense and catch-up to the macro deficit. Despite the dire situation, it was ByuLs decision to all-in on Hydralisks that forced a lengthy stalemate. Stats impatience would end up costing him -- instead of building more Carriers, he opted to fight into the Hydralisk army and lost most of his unit count for the game loss.Stats 0:1 ByuLGame 2: Habitation StationMap two would end up in the late game. Stats opened with Phoenixes and Adepts to overwhelm ByuLs defenses, but the Zerg player absolutely prepared accordingly. ByuL countered with Speedlings and Banelings for economic damage while Stats transitioned into another Carrier-heavy strategy. ByuL opted to focus entirely on the macro game to ensure adaptability in the laate game and Stats farmed up while waiting out the midgame in a defensive mode.dddddddddddd The final push came from Stats; in his first aggressive take, he successfully traded his only mining base for the entirety of ByuLs army.Stats 1:1 ByuLGame 3: OvergrowthStats went for a cheese opener with mass Gateways, but ByuL scouted for the perfect defense and countered with an early Spire. After building up more tech, Stats went for a timing push with Immortals, Archons, and charge Zealots for an attack on the ground, but ByuL defended again and countered with Mutalisks. Although he had no set defense against the Mutalisks, Stats went for a final timing push with mass Archons and crushed through ByuLs base before all of the late game tech was completed.Stats 2:1 ByuLGame 4: Newkirk PrecinctByuL grabbed the early aggression with his Mutalisk timing and kept Stats on complete defensive mode. His multi-pronged attacks forced irreparable damage to Stats economy and it was only a matter of time before the set was tied up. ByuLs superior macro advantage and map control led to a straightforward push into the rest of the defenses.Stats 2:2 ByuLGame 5: WhirlwindStats took the initiative on the final game with an early aggressive push of Adepts, Zealots, and an Immortal with a Warp Prism. The push crushed through over 20 casualties and ruined ByuLs economy. The reinforcements sealed the game and Stats would finish off the set.Stats advances to the grand finals of IEM Gyeonggi. He was the second qualifier out of Group A, arguably the toughest group during the group stage, and will rematch against the other qualifier out of the same group, Lee INnoVation Shin Hyung in the grand finals. Although he played well in this series, Stats macro and defensive mistakes will need improvement and overhaul if he wants a chance against a player in absolute top-form like INnoVation. ' ' '
