MILWAUKEE -- Corey Hart says he'll be swinging for the fences in the State Farm Home Run Derby.

 

"Yeah, I'm excited," Hart said Sunday, when he was named to his second National League All-Star team. "They already called me. They had to wait and see if I hit one [today]."

 

He did hit one Sunday afternoon, a solo blast that accounted for the Brewers' only offense in a 7-1 loss to Adam Wainwright and the Cardinals in St. Louis. The loss, plus the rib-cage injury suffered by fellow All-Star selection Yovani Gallardo, dampened the enthusiasm for the Brewers, who will send at least three players to the Midsummer Classic for the fifth straight season. Hart and Gallardo will be joined by Ryan Braun, who will start in the outfield for the NL.

 

The Brewers will be represented in the Home Run Derby for the fourth straight year. Prince Fielder debuted in the event in 2007 and won it in '09 in St. Louis. Braun took part in '08.
