DENVER -- Ron Roenicke was worn out from watching the baseball soar so much in
just one game.
Terry Mills Pistons Jersey . The Milwaukee
Brewers skipper cant even begin to imagine playing half his games in this hitter
friendly park. "Theres just so much that happens," Roenicke said. Especially on
a humid night with no wind blowing. The baseballs were flying like the old days,
before the humidor came into existence at Coors Field. Jean Segura homered twice
and Ryan Braun had three hits in his 1,000th career game, helping the Brewers
hold off the Colorado Rockies 13-10 on Friday night. "There are a lot of good
ballparks to hit in. There are," Roenicke said. "But those balls were crushed."
Indeed, they were. Khris Davis homered and Carlos Gomez extended his hitting
streak to 16 games as the Brewers scored their most runs of the year and tied a
season high with 19 hits. Segura said hes never had a multihomer game before
Friday. He could definitely get used to hitting here. "Everybody likes hitting
in this park," Segura said. "This place is great for hitters. Its amazing how
balls go off the bat here, just go out in the field so quickly." Marco Estrada
(6-4) was noticing the same thing. He didnt feel like he pitched all that bad.
But then he looked at his line for the night -- seven runs in 5 2-3 innings and
a career-most 10 hits -- and he cant help but wince a bit. "I still think I
threw the ball really well," Estrada said. "Nothing you can do about it, just
keep going." In their first game since being no-hit by Dodgers ace
Clayton Kershaw, the Rockies got their league-leading offence back on track with
a 16-hit evening, which included homers from Justin Morneau, Corey Dickerson and
Brandon Barnes. Morneau finished with five RBIs. "Guys turned the page pretty
well," manager Walt Weiss said. "(The no-hitter) was long forgotten when the
game started." Christian Bergman (0-2) was roughed up as he allowed seven runs
in three innings. The righty departed soon after taking a liner off the base of
his left hand. "Its fine," Bergman said. "Its not broken, its just really
swollen. Hopefully it cools down in the next couple of days." Roenicke had a
feeling it was going to be a long night when the teams combined for 13 runs and
16 hits in the first three innings. "I thought it was going to be a big number
(to win)," Roenicke said. About then, Estrada began to find his groove. He
pitched three straight scoreless innings to give Brewers hitters a chance to
open a gap. Milwaukee took the lead for good on Seguras second homer of the game
in the third. The Brewers were leading 11-6 in the sixth when Dickerson hit a
two-run homer -- his fourth hit of the game. An inning later, Barnes lined a
two-run homer to make it 12-10. Milwaukee reliever Will Smith found himself in a
precarious situation in the eighth. With two on and one out, Segura made a nifty
play in the hole to snare Morneaus grounder and threw to second for a forceout.
Smith then struck out Wilin Rosario to end the threat. Francisco Rodriguez
struck out two of three in ninth for his 24th save in 26 chances. Gomez finished
with three singles to stretch his streak of safely reaching base to 33 straight
games. That ties him for the fifth-longest streak in franchise history. Braun
was 3 for 6 with two doubles. He was booed each time he stepped to the plate in
the wake of his suspension last season following Major League Baseballs
investigation into the Biogenesis drug scandal. NOTES: Milwaukee, the best road
team in baseball, improved to 4-1 on its seven-game trip. ... The Brewers will
throw RHP Wily Peralta (7-5) on Saturday against LHP Christian Friedrich, who
will be making his season debut. Friedrich missed most of last season with back
inflammation. ... Rockies 3B Nolan Arenado (broken left middle finger) said his
recent X-ray came back clean and that he hopes to begin batting as soon as next
week. He put on his glove again Friday. "Felt a little weird," Arenado said.
"But it felt good."
Bill Laimbeer Jersey . Driven on by a

Quintero in a devastating six-minute spell in the second half to beat Ivory
Coast 2-1 on Thursday.
