Brewers host NL foes

THE MILWAUKEE BREWERS, eying post-season play this season, face some of their National League foes this month in a long homestand beginning May 9 against the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Brewers, who added needed relief pitching in the off-season, are led by Prince Fielder, whose 50 home runs in 2007 set a Brewer record and led the National League; Ryan Braun, the National League rookie of the year in 2007, and veteran pitchers Ben Sheets and Jeff Suppan.

Attendance at Miller Park, just five miles west of downtown Milwaukee, surpassed 2.8 million in 2007 and the enthusiasm has carried over to this season.. For tickets and team updates, visit www.brewers.com.
