MILWAUKEE -- Its hard replacing a heart-of-the-order offensive talent.The Milwaukee Brewers are finding that out the hard way, struggling to score runs after a trade deadline deal that shipped all-star catcher Jonathan Lucroy to Texas.Prior to their 4-3 victory over the Braves Wednesday night, Milwaukee had failed to score more than three runs in seven of their previous eight games -- the lone exception being a 15-6 rout of the Diamondbacks last Saturday -- and winning just one of those contestsHe was one of our biggest producers this year, said Chris Carter, who hit his team-leading 26th home run of the season Wednesday night. We have guys that have to pick up where he left off and get some big hits.Another added benefit of Lucroys presence was consistency at the top of the lineup: Lucroy usually slotted in the No. 4 spot, with Jonathan Villar leading off, Scooter Gennett batting second and Ryan Braun in the No. 3 spot.Now, Counsell is shuffling things around looking for the right fit.Our lineups have been pretty set for most of the season, Counsell said. One or two spots have moved around but theyve been generally set but he first four hitters have been pretty set.Its going to change now. Its going to be a little change from day to day. Well probably try some things. Theres not the perfect guy to hit in that spot. It will be some trial stuff; well move some guys around.With the offense trying to get back on track, the Brewers will look to their starting pitching to keep games close for the time being.Matt Garza will take the mound Thursday looking to keep his recent hot streak going.After missing the first two months of the season because of a strained lat muscle suffered during his final exhibition start in spring, Garza is starting to get into a groove. Hes 2-0 with a 3.12 ERA in his last three starts coming off one of his best outings of the season, having held the Diamondbacks to just two runs on three hits over 5 1/3 innings of work in a 15-6 Brewers victory last Saturday in Phoenix.Its a lot of fun to have my stuff back, said Garza.Atlanta will hand the ball to right-hander Roberto Hernandez at it looks to clinch its third consecutive series victory.Hernandez -- formerly known as Fausto Carmona -- returned to the big leagues for the first time in over a year last Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk with four strikeouts over five innings of work in a 13-5 victory over the Cardinals in St Louis.I went back and looked at some reports, Braves manager Brian Snitker said. He battled his way through and he has his sinker, slider and change. It was exactly what we needed for him to try and get as deep as he could.He began his season pitching for the Blue Jays Triple-A affiliate but was released after going 4-4 with a 4.42 ERA in 13 starts. The Braves signed him in early July and assigned him to Triple-A Gwinnett where he made three starts and went 0-2 with a 5.52 ERA.Its always a great opportunity to pitch in the big leagues, so I was very emotional to get the opportunity to pitch, Hernandez said through an interpreter. It was a wonderful experience and just keep going forward and make the most of it and take it from here.

According to a report from the Winnipeg Free Press, the Bombers will name Acting GM Kyle Walters to the post full time. With just two races remaining in this years Formula One season, ESPN takes a look at how the 2016 title battle can be won and lost.Nico Rosberg is in the box seat for a maiden F1 title, leading Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton by 19 points heading to Brazil where a win would see him crowned champion. The German has the luxury of knowing that he does not even have to win a race in order to beat Hamilton to the title.With two second-place finishes behind Hamilton he would still win by five points and even one second and one third would be good enough, handing him a two-point advantage come the chequered flag in Abu Dhabi.So can Hamilton pull off a remarkable comeback and snatch the championship from under Rosbergs nose, or will the German be celebrating his first title?How things stand1. Rosberg - 349 (9 wins) 2. Hamilton - 330 (8 wins)Where the title can be wonRosberg has entered the last two rounds with a chance of taking the title, but Mexico is the first time he has been able to clinch it regardless of his teammates result. However, if Hamilton can record a third consecutive win and come out on top at Interlagos then the championship will definitely go down to the wire at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on November 27.Hamilton has plenty of experience of fighting for a championship at the last round of a season, having done so on four previous occasions (2007, 2008, 2010 and 2014). Rosberg, on the other hand, can only draw on one previous title battle at a season finale, when he lost out to Hamilton in 2014.Who needs what?RosbergTo put it simply, Rosberg will be champion if he wins in Brazil, regardless of where Hamilton finishes. Beyond that there are a number of different title permutations that can pan out depending on where the Mercedes drivers finish.Outscoring Hamilton by seven points will put the title beyond the Britons reach. This equates to:If Hamilton is second, Rosberg needs to win.If Hamilton is third, Rosberg needs to win.If Hamilton is fourth, Rosberg needs to be second. This scenario would see Hamilton and Rosberg tied on points and race wins if Hamilton claimed victory in Abu Dhabi and Rosberg did not score. Rosberg would therefore win the title on count back, with four second place finishes compared to Hamiltons three.ddddddddddddIf Hamilton is fifth, Rosberg needs to be second.If Hamilton is sixth, Rosberg needs to be third.If Hamilton is seventh, Rosberg needs to be third.If Hamilton is eighth, Rosberg needs to be fourth.If Hamilton is ninth, Rosberg needs to be fifth.If Hamilton is 10th, Rosberg needs to be sixth.HamiltonHamiltons best chance of keeping his title chances alive is to win both races. If he wins in Brazil and Abu Dhabi and Rosberg can only record one second and a fourth, Hamilton would claim the championship by a single point.The size of Hamiltons taskHamilton certainly has his work cut out if he is going to win a fourth F1 crown, not only due to the sizeable points gap but also because in nine attempts he has never won in Brazil. But the Briton has already managed to wipe out a 43-point deficit after Spain, turning it into a 6-point lead six races later, after winning in Hungary.Following a record-breaking four wins in July, Hamilton boasted a 19-point advantage heading into the summer break, but his momentum took a hit when the effects of suffering a number of engine problems earlier in the season forced Hamilton to start from the back in Belgium. Rosberg took advantage and enjoyed a 45-point swing back in his favour over the next four races, until Hamilton fought back with wins in the United States and Mexico.Reliability could play a major factor in the outcome of this years championship for either driver. Since a heart-breaking engine blowout while leading the Malaysian Grand Prix, Hamilton has had a clean run of reliability. A single problem for Rosberg would swing the title back towards Hamilton, while another issue for Hamilton would almost certainly end his hopes.Championships have, however, been won in equally difficult situations to the one Hamilton faces, as he knows all too well. Hamilton was 17 points clear (under the old points system) of Ferraris Kimi Raikkonen heading into the final two rounds of 2007, but the Finn successfully overturned the deficit to snatch the championship by one point.
