Brewers give Braun another day off

Mark it down as another mysterious off-day for Brewers slugger Ryan Braun. Coming off a 4-for-14 series in Arizona in which he became the sixth player in history to hit 100 homers in his first three seasons, Braun was out of the lineup for Monday’s series opener at Wrigley Field. It was Braun’s third day off in eight days, counting the team’s open date on Thursday, but neither Braun nor manager Ken Macha offered much in the way of an explanation.

“Just a day off,” Macha insisted.

“Not playing,” Braun said. “That’s all I’ve got.”

And that’s all he would say, until he passed through the clubhouse a few minutes later.

“I don’t mean to be a jerk. I just don’t know what to say,” Braun said, throwing his hands in the air. “Who knows?”

When Braun was on the bench for the Brewers’ Sept. 7 game against Chris Carpenter and the Cardinals — in which Carpenter went on to pitch a one-hit shutout — Macha mentioned that Braun was getting treatment for a sore shoulder. Braun does get treatment on his right shoulder, but he has refused to acknowledge any physical ailments. He stood by that stance on Monday.

Fielder enters books with Cooper in win

It was a weekend of personal milestones for the Brewers, topped on Sunday by first baseman Prince Fielder, who homered to drive in his 126th run of the season, tying Cecil Cooper for the single-season franchise record.

The fourth-inning shot to left — the opposite field for the lefty swinger — accounted for his club’s first run in a 5-3 victory over the D-backs at Chase Field.

“I’ve never thought about [the record] until now,” said Fielder, who also opened the Brewers’ four-run seventh with a single. “It’s really an honor to be mentioned with a guy like Cecil. He was a great first baseman, so it really is something special. This organization has had a lot of great players, so it’s really a big deal. It’s pretty cool.”

Fielder pursuing Brewers’ RBI record

Prince Fielder is taking his pursuit of a 26-year-old Brewers record out on the road. Five RBIs on the team’s just-completed homestand gave Fielder 125 this season, just shy of the franchise mark set by fellow left-handed-hitting first baseman Cecil Cooper in 1983. Fielder will continue his pursuit of the record when the Brewers begin a three-game series in Arizona on Friday night, and Cooper, the manager of the Houston Astros, will be watching the box scores.

“He’s a good young player, and he’s going to break a lot more [records] before he’s done,” Cooper said Wednesday while the Astros were in the middle of a series against the Braves.

Fielder is well aware of Cooper’s accomplishments during his 11 seasons in Milwaukee and 17 seasons in the Major Leagues. Fielder ticked off some of Cooper’s credentials, including a .298 career batting average and two big run-production seasons. Cooper led the American League with 122 RBIs in 1980, then tied Boston’s Jim Rice for the lead in ‘83 with 126.
