PITTSBURGH , MILWAUKEE

MILWAUKEE (Ticker) -- Bill Hall might be back.


Batting in an unusual spot in the order, Hall snapped out of aprolonged funk with four RBI and the Milwaukee Brewers explodedfor 15 hits in a 12-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates onSaturday night.


Kevin Mench finished a triple shy of the cycle and also drove inthree runs while scoring four times and Corey Hart homered andscored three runs.


Righthander Dave Bush (11-9) was the beneficiary of the amplesupport, finishing with one run allowed on four hits in sixinnings. Nate McLouth walked leading off the game and scored onFreddy Sanchez's RBI double to give the Pirates a 1-0 lead, butMilwaukee quickly turned the game around.


Each of the first five batters in the Milwaukee second reachedbase against Shane Youman (3-5), who allowed eight runs on sevenhits in two-plus innings. Johnny Estrada's two-run single andHall's two-run double were the biggest blows, with J.J. Hardycontributing a run-scoring single later in the frame.

Milwaukee splurged for three more in the third, two on Mench's<div class="pre">double and another on a Hall sacrifice fly. Hall batting in</div>the eighth spot for just the fourth time this year after going<div class="pre">hitless in his previous 14 at-bats came up with his fourth RBI</div>of the game in the fifth, coming on a two-out single.

Hall had been batting just .211 since returning from thedisabled list on July 25, with three home runs in 109 at-bats.The converted shortstop, who hit 35 home runs last season andhas 12 in 2007, also made a spectacular diving catch ending thefirst, preventing the Pirates from scoring two additional runs.

Mench's home run in the seventh against reliever Juan Perezimmediately followed a two-run dinger by Hart, giving theBrewers a league-leading 184 home runs on the season.

Prince Fielder finished 3-for-3 and reached base four times, andMilwaukee's offense clicked despite a 3-for-14 performance bythe starters in the batting order's top three slots.

With Chicago's win over Houston earlier in the afternoon, theBrewers were unable to pick up ground in the Central standings,though the win did move Milwaukee back above .500 at 68-67.
