In the third, the Brewers made it a 7-0 game. With the bases loaded and two outs, Zaun brought home all three runners with a double to left. After Escobar singled, Gallardo and Rickie Weeks followed with back-to-back RBI singles.

The Pirates got on the board in the fourth as McCutchen punched a double to left that plated Akinori Iwamura and Duke, but the Brewers got one back in the bottom of the inning when Corey Hart's sacrifice fly to left scored Braun for an 8-2 lead.

The Brewers brought home nine more runs in the eighth. A two-run double from Zaun was followed by a two-run homer from Escobar. With the bases loaded, Fielder hit an RBI single and McGehee added with a grand slam to left for a 17-2 advantage.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
