Brewers happy for Scooter's 4-homer game

MILWAUKEE -- It was all still sinking in at Miller Park on Wednesday. Scooter Gennett did what?

Gennett, waived by the Brewers late in Spring Training and picked up by his hometown Reds, became the 17th player in Major League history to hit four home runs in a game on Tuesday. Word reached the Brewers' dugout at Miller Park in about the seventh inning, by which time Brewers manager Craig Counsell had noted the lopsided score on the out of town scoreboard and figured something "crazy" must be happening in Cincinnati.

But four home runs from Scooter Gennett?
