Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Aaron Hill hit for his second cycle of the

of a three-game series.
Hill, who also hit for the cycle on June 18, recorded his 1,000th career hit
with a ground-rule double in the first inning. He also singled and scored as
part of a five-run third, hit a two-run homer in the fourth and belted an RBI
triple in the sixth.
Paul Goldschmidt was equally as impressive, going 4-for-4 with two doubles and
a three-run homer for the Diamondbacks, who improved to 16-8 over their last
24 games.
Ian Kennedy (6-7) earned the win, allowing three runs -- one earned -- on six
hits over seven innings. He walked one and struck out seven.
Cesar Izturis hit a two-run double for the Brewers, losers of five of their
last six games.
Randy Wolf (2-6) was charged with eight runs -- seven earned -- on nine hits
over four innings in the setback. He is 0-4 over his last 11 starts and has
not won since April 30.
