Five points to ponder as the Milwaukee Brewers try figure out a way to score some runs tonight and snap a four-game losing streak in the second game of their three-game series at the Florida Marlins.

1 -- The Brewers have committed just four errors between the second base (1), shortstop (2) and center field (1) positions this season, which is tied with the Chicago White Sox and San Diego Padres for the second fewest in the Major Leagues this season. The Cincinnati Reds rank first, committing only three errors at those positions.

2 -- Ryan Braun, who is playing outfield for the first time in his professional career, has not committed an error in 31 starts in left field this season. He also has recorded three outfield assists, which ranks among the league leaders. The 2007 National League Rookie of the Year played third base last season and committed a league-high 26 errors.

3 "“ General manager GM Doug Melvin said that the team had no plans to remove Eric Gagne from the closer role after he blew his league leading fifth save of the season on Sunday. While the Brewers' offense has underachieved for the most part this season, it has led to 14 save opportunities for Gagne, who has nine saves with a terrible 6.14 earned run average. But Gagne isn't the only closer with a rough ERA. Check out the St. Louis Cardinals' Jason Isringhausen who has a National League-leading 11 saves and an equally awful 6.14 ERA to go with it.

4 -- The Brewers are looking to avoid falling under .500 for the first time since they were 66-67 on Aug. 30 last season. It would help, though, if they could get a win from a starting pitcher. Milwaukee has not had a win from a starting pitcher other than Ben Sheets since lefty Manny Parra beat the San Francisco Giants on April 5 at Miller Park. Sheets has four of the seven wins by Brewers' starters this season. Next up tonight for Milwaukee is Dave Bush (0-3, 6.46).

5 "“ If you don't like Rickie Weeks and his .192 batting average and .322 on-base percentage at the top of the Brewers' lineup, consider this statistic. Since Aug. 10, when he rejoined the Brewers following a brief stint at Triple-A Nashville, Weeks has led the Major Leagues in runs scored with 72 followed by Florida's Hanley Ramirez (65) and Houston's Lance Berkman (63). However, Weeks' average is the worst in the Major Leagues for a lead-off batter.
