Bats unable to support Hill in defeat
Young starter allows four runs in 6 2/3 innings in first loss of '07
"Once in a while, we have a good game and we put some nice runs on the board and you think, 'Here we come.' One of these days, we'll break the barn door down and get going."- Sweet Lou

CHICAGO -- Rich Hill threw 108 pitches Tuesday night. He'd like to have about four of them back.
Hill gave up more runs on one swing by Prince Fielder than he had in 25 previous innings when the Milwaukee slugger hit a two-run homer to power the Brewers to a 4-1 victory over the Cubs. Kevin Mench added a solo shot off Hill, who suffered his first loss in four starts.
"Look, the guy's human," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said of Hill, who entered the game leading the National League with a 0.41 ERA. "He wasn't as sharp as he's been. He still kept us in the ballgame."
