Weve just got to do a good job of keeping it simple, and tonight we did.We took what they gave us and executed.Mason, who improved to 8-3-2 against the Panthers, said the defense in front of him made his job easier.Overall, it was a really strong game from the entire team there.

Kyle Lohse did his part. Juan Francisco and Carlos Gomez each hit home runs and Lohse blanked Miami for six innings as the Brewers started the second half of the season with a 2-0 victory over the Marlins on Friday night. "It felt good to get the second half started this way," Lohse said. "We just to keep playing some clean games and just keep it going." Lohse (6-7) has owned the Marlins over his career. He came in 5-2 in nine starts, including a 3-0 record with the St. Louis Cardinals last season. He was in command all the way this time, too. He struck out five, allowed five hits but no walks. It was his fourth win in his last five decisions. The Brewers (39-56) are 17 games below .500 and last in the NL Central. The victory over the lowly Marlins started them on their way. "I want to play good baseball," Roenicke said. "We played good baseball tonight." Francisco hit an opposite-field home run in the fourth, driving a 3-2 pitch from Jacob Turner (3-2) into the left-field seats. Gomez, fresh off his first All-Star appearance, curled a two-out, 0-2 pitch around the left-field foul pole in the fifth inning. He flipped his bat and hesitated, watching the ball sail toward the second tier in left, before racing full speed around the bases. Francisco has 12 home runs and Gomez 15 this season. "Whether we get back to .500 or not, we got to really play well," Roenicke said. "Theres no doubt about it. Weve got to play really good baseball." Brewers tested his theory in the sixth. The results were good and could have been bad had Lohse not made key pitches. Third baseman Jeff Bianchi helped Lohse. Giancarlo Stanton drilled a pitch that headed down the line and looked like it was a sure hit. Bianchi lunged fully extended and snared the ball. He held it up for the ump to see that he had it. Gomez made it difficult for Lohse when he muffed a fly ball that was ruled a double. Logan Morrison hit a towering fly ball that Gomez tracked toward the wall in left centre. The ball deflected off Gomezs glove as he tried to make the catch. Marcell Ozuna flied out to Gomez to end the inning. John Axford and Jim Henderson each pitched a scoreless inning before Francisco Rodriguez pitched the ninth for his 10th consecutive save.dddddddddddd Turner faced the Brewers for the second time this season. He took a no-decision in the Marlins 5-4 win on June 11. "I definitely didnt have my best stuff," Turner said. "No excuse for the home runs. Francisco, I knew he got it. Hes got power to the opposite field. Gomez was an 0-2 terrible pitch. The put good swings on bad pitches." Lohse has had trouble keeping the ball in the park this season. The Arizona Diamondbacks hit three home runs in a 5-4 loss in his last start before the All-Star break. That pushed his total to an NL-leading 19 and a tie with Dan Haren of the Washington Nationals. Morrison came the closest to making it 20 in the fourth when he skied a pitch toward the right-field pole, but the ball turned just in front of the pole. Turner was done after hitting Rickie Weeks, the first batter in the sixth. Ryan Webb came on and retired three batters. Turner went five innings, gave up five hits, walked four and struck out six. "It was an uphill battle all night," Turner said. "Some days you have it, some days you dont." Ryan Braun returned to the starting lineup after coming off the bereavement list on Thursday. The Brewers left-fielder last played July 9, a day after leaving the 15-day disabled list with a sore right thumb. He missed a total of five games, but not the continuing Biogenesis suspension rumours. Braun went 0 for 3 off Turner before being replaced by Logan Schafer in the top of the seventh. "It feels like it has been awhile and it has been awhile," Braun said. "I havent done a lot of baseball stuff over the last 10 days, and I could tell." NOTES: The massive stage for Paul McCartneys sold-out concert Tuesday evening at Miller Park left quite a footprint. There was a wide area of dead grass that stretched from the front of the warning track well into centre field. Some of it had been re-sodded. Neither manager seemed concerned with the overall condition of the field. ... The Marlins reinstated reliever Chad Qualls (2-1, 2.89 ERA, 37 appearances) from the paternity list. The team made room for the him by optioning LHP Duane Below to Triple-A New Orleans on July 14. ... Turner had made eight starts coming into the game since being called up on May 31 from Triple-A New Orleans. His 2.34 ERA ranked seventh in the NL and ninth in majors. ' ' '
