Brewers: Six Runs, Two Hits, No Homers In First Inning

From Elias: The Brewers scored six runs in the first inning of their 8-5 win over the Giants, though Milwaukee's only hits in that inning were run-scoring doubles by Aramis Ramirez and pitcher Marco Estrada. It was only the second time in Brewers franchise history that they scored six or more runs in an inning in which they had no more than two hits and did not hit a home run. The other time they did that was in the fifth inning of a 9-6 win at Florida on June 3, 2009 (six runs, two hits). Over the last three seasons the only other inning of that kind in a major-league game was by the Yankees in the seventh inning of their 22-9 win over the A's on August 25 last year.
