Jody Gerut welcomed the chance to start and responded with one of his biggest hits since joining the Milwaukee Brewers. Gerut's second career grand slam lifted the Brewers to a 7-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Thursday. It also helped Milwaukee earn a split in the four-game series between two teams finishing disappointing seasons. "I'm happy for whatever I can do," Gerut said. Out of baseball for two years, Gerut put together a decent season for the Padres a year ago and then was traded to the Brewers in May for Tony Gwynn.
