New Brewer at Home in the Majors

Quiet in the clubhouse, third baseman Mat Gamel is letting his bat do the talking in his first month as a major leaguer.

Since Becoming a Brewer on May, 14 Gamel is starting to get into a rhythm and making a real contribution to the Milwaukee Brewers.

"I think it just comes with getting more at-bats and seeing more pitches and getting more comfortable," said Gamel.

While hitting a modest .244 batting average overall, over the last week Gamel has stepped it up hitting .304 with a .429 on-base percentage.

Gamel was brought to serve as a DH during inter-league play, he may have made a permanent home in the "Bigs."

"Mat Gamel's on the ball club," general manager Doug Melvin said. "He's done a good job. We don't have any moves coming up."
