MILWAUKEE -- Ryan Braun would rather talk about the Milwaukee Brewers win Tuesday night than himself. Carlos Gomez scored from first on Yuniesky Betancourts line drive to right-centre in the bottom of the 10th inning, lifting the Brewers to a 4-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics. "We need to start winning some more games," Braun said. "Carlos Gomez did a phenomenal job with the bases right there. (Kyle) Lohse gave us a solid start. The bullpen was great again. Its nice to beat a good team." What Braun did not want to talk about was an ESPN report saying that MLB is seeking to suspend several players, including the Milwaukee slugger, who have been linked to a Florida anti-aging clinic and its director. "Ive already addressed everything related to the Miami situation," Braun said. "I addressed it in spring training. The truth has not changed. I dont know the specifics of the story that came out today, but Ive already addressed it. Ive commented on it. Ill say nothing further about it." Brewers manager Ron Roenicke also knew few details about the situation. "Yeah, to be honest, I didnt really hear anything before (the game)," Roenicke said. "I just heard a little more now. I dont know anything about it. I know Major League Baseball is handling it. That is all I really know." John Axford (2-3) got the win with a scoreless 10th. He retired Yoenis Cespedes, whose first career multihomer game had given the Athletics a 3-0 lead through seven innings, and after walking Jed Lowrie he struck out Josh Donaldson and got Josh Reddick on a flyout. Pat Neshek (1-1) took over in the bottom of the 10th and retired Braun on a grounder to third before Aramis Ramirez blooped an 0-2 pitch into short left and was replaced by pinch-runner Jeff Bianchi. Gomez reached on a fielders choice and scored with a head-first slide on Betancourts line drive. "Yuni got a pitch to hit, and Im on my way, already to steal a base," Gomez said. "That makes it easier to get more velocity and I can score. I go. The only thing on my mind is to score." The Brewers will take any excitement they can generate after they went 6-22 in May and came in 1-2 in June. "If we win (the) game, it is fun to wake everybody up," Gomez said. "The last few weeks, a tough situation. Everybody tried to push too much." After being shut out by Oakland starter A.J. Griffin for seven innings, the Brewers tied the game with three runs in the eighth off reliever Sean Doolittle. Rickie Weeks, who came on in a double switch in the top of the eighth, singled and went to second on Norichika Aokis single. Both scored when Jean Segura tripled to the right-field corner. Ryan Cook then came on to face Braun and retired him on a grounder to third. Ramirez followed with a broken-bat bloop to short centre that scored Segura. Gomez hit into a double play to end the threat. "Thats the first time in his career hes given up a three-run lead," Athletics manager Bob Melvin said. "It was four pitches. His command was off. It was shocking to see." Doolittle had allowed just two runs in 23 innings over his first 23 games. He was 1 for 25 facing the first batter, but Weeks foiled that. Cespedes hit the first pitch he saw from Milwaukee starter Kyle Lohse for his 10th home run of the season in the first and then connected again off Lohse for a solo shot leading off the sixth. Griffin retired the first eight batters before Lohse looped a single into short centre field. Then the right-hander worked out of trouble in the fifth. Gomez beat out a bunt single and Juan Francisco walked, but Griffin got Martin Maldonado to hit into a fielders choice. Scooter Gennett and Lohse struck out swinging as Griffin escaped any harm. Griffin allowed four hits, walked one and struck out five, including Gennett three times. Griffin has gone six or more innings in nine of his 12 starts this season. "Griffin was terrific," Melvin said. "Certainly good enough to win." Lohse, signed to a three-year contract the last week of spring training, was supposed to help bolster an inexperienced pitching staff, but his lone victory came April 22 at San Diego. Since then, often pitching with little run support, hes lost seven of his eight starts. He missed one scheduled start due to right elbow irritation and then allowed four home runs in 4 2-3 innings against Minnesota on May 30 -- his shortest start of the season. Against the Athletics, Lohse gave up three runs on seven hits in six innings. He struck out three, but has allowed six home runs in his last two starts. Juan Francisco made his first ever start at first base for the Brewers, who acquired the career third baseman from Atlanta on Monday for minor league pitcher Thomas Keeling. Francisco, in his fifth season, played 209 games with Atlanta and Cincinnati, but none at first. Milwaukee plans to have Francisco and Betancourt platoon at first until Corey Hart returns from the 60-day disabled list. NOTES: Cespedes has 44 hits this season, 21 for extra bases.

Chris Denorfia and Chase Headley each had two RBIs as the Padres roughed up Clayton Kershaw and four relievers shut down the Dodgers in a 5-2 victory over Los Angeles on Friday night. "Tim and Tyson were the players of the game," Padres manager Buddy Black said. "What they did on short notice was really impressive." San Diego has five starting position players out with injuries and now Richards headed to the disabled list with shoulder inflammation, but the Padres keep on winning. The surging Padres are an NL-best 13-7 in June. San Diego has won eight straight at Petco Park and nine of their last 11 overall. Stauffer (1-0) relieved Richard and earned his first win since Sept. 16, 2011, by allowing one run in four innings. Ross followed that with three shutout innings. The Dodgers have lost nine of 12. Kershaw (5-5) allowed four runs on seven hits in six innings. He allowed four earned runs in a game this season just once prior to Friday. The Dodgers ace has struggled against San Diego, going 0-3 with a 4.67 ERA in three starts this year. "They are a team that battles him pretty good," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "It certainly helps that theyve seen him a lot. Theyre a club that makes him pitch and extends at bats. Theyve been tough on him, and tonight they scratched out enough runs to win." Black said Richard would head to the disabled list with inflammation in the left arcomioclavicular joint, located at the top of the shoulder near the collarbone, and pain in his neck and upper chest. "It was rough, something I hoped wouldnt happen," Richard said. "I had some discomfort this week leading up to (the start), but I thought Id be able to get through. Unfortunately, once I got going I kneew things werent right.dddddddddddd "Once we get it isolated and figure out exactly whats going on, well be able to get it calmed down and go from there," he said. Stauffer allowed a run in the top of the first, but Denorfia homered off Kershaw in the bottom half to tie it 1-all. Then the Padres added three more runs in the third. Logan Forsythe doubled and Denorfia walked before Chase Headley hit a triple. Kyle Blanks drove him home in the next at-bat for a 4-1 lead. Hanley Ramirezs RBI double off Dale Thayer in the eighth made it 5-2. Dodgers rookie phenom Yasiel Puig went 2 for 4 against the Padres, which raised his average to .455 and marked his 11th multihit game in 17 major league games.

Hell play designated hitter in the first game and move to the outfield in the final two. Kemp has been sidelined since May 30 with a right hamstring strain.
