(WNFL)- Milwaukee right-fielder Ryan Braun was named the National League’s co-player of the week yesterday. He shares the honor with Pittsburgh center-fielder Andrew McCutcheon. Braun led the Majors with 11 RBI’s last week, and he tied for the National League lead with three homers. Braun hit a monster 474-foot shot out of Miller Park over the left field bleachers on Memorial Day. That was the longest homer by a right-handed hitter in the stadium’s 15-year history. Braun batted .381 last week with five walks, a .481 on-base percentage, and a .952 slugging percentage. McCutcheon batted .450 for the week with three homers and five RBI’s. He led the Majors with a .542 on-base percentage, and led the NL with a slugging percentage of an even one.
