NL: FLORIDA (26-29) at MILWAUKEE (31-24) <h3>Braun flexing his muscles for Brewers</h3> <div class="pre">Florida (26-29) at Milwaukee (31-24) 7:05 pm EDT</div> MILWAUKEE (Ticker) -- Just eight games into his major leaguecareer, it is looking like Ryan Braun is living up to his pressclippings. Braun and the Milwaukee Brewers meet the Florida Marlins for thethird time in their four-game series on Saturday at MillerPark. The fifth overall pick in the 2005 draft, Braun homered, doubledand singled on Friday and is 9-for-30 with two homers, six RBIand two steals after just more than a week in the majors. The23-year-old third baseman hit .342 with 10 homers and 22 RBI in34 minor league games this season before his promotion. Chris Capuano (5-4, 3.94 ERA), who has lost four straightstarts, will look for Braun's help to prolong the Brewers'four-game winning streak versus the Marlins. He is 3-1 with a2.91 ERA in five career outings against Florida. The lefthander allowed two runs and seven hits over seveninnings in Monday's 2-1 loss against the Braves. Byung-Hyun Kim (3-2, 5.16), who is 2-0 with a 3.24 ERA afterjoining the Marlins in the trade that sent reliever Jorge Julioto Colorado, looks to build on his longest start of the season.Over six scoreless frames, the righthander yielded just threehits and struck out five in a 5-3 win over the Cubs. Kim is 1-1 with a 4.66 ERA in 14 career games - including twostarts - against the Brewers.
