"It's nice to come out after the All-Star break and get thefirst win under our belt," Tulowitzki said.


Rookie third baseman Ryan Braun, making a strong case forNational League Rookie of the Year, hit two home runs and drovein four for the Brewers, whose lead in the NL Central shrunk to3 1/2 games over the Chicago Cubs.


"We just go out there with the same approach," Braun said of histeam's dwindling lead. "We know how talented we are, what we'recapable of doing. As long as we maintain that approach, we'llstill win a lot of games."

"We have to get Jeff back on track," Rockies manager ClintHurdle said. "He's got to re-establish his fastball and thenestablish his fastball command. He needs to go back to hisroots. When things were going good, he was getting a lot of outswith his fastball."

"We were going back and forth and it looked like one of thosenights where hitters were going to hit and we were going toscore a lot of runs," Tulowitzki said. "To get a little bit of acushion was huge for us."


Four of five Rockies that drew walks eventually scored.

"You want to come up with guys on base and drive the ballsomewhere," Torrealba said. "When they give you walks, you wantto take advantage of that."
