Homer-happy Brewers to be tested against stingy Marlins staff

Home run. Dinger. Tater. Moon shot. Long bomb. Upper-decker.

Brewers fans had to dig deep into their baseball synonyms Thursday night when Milwaukee’s high-powered offense hit six homers in a 11-3 win over the Cincinnati Reds.

It’s the second-most home runs in a single game in franchise history, and the first time the Brewers had hit that many since 2007.

Milwaukee hit seven home runs on April 29, 1980 to set the franchise record.

But who knows how long that will last with the sluggers currently on roster.

Ryan Braun started out Thursday’s 11-run outburst with a solo shot in the first inning.
