ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Milwaukee Brewers hoped they were getting a stolen base threat when they acquired infielder Jonathan Villar from the Houston Astros last November. It turns out they got a budding power hitter, too.Villar, the major leagues stolen base leader, hit his 17th and 18th home runs and had a career-high five RBI and Matt Garza beat his former team as the Brewers defeated the Texas Rangers 8-3 on Monday night.I dont think about that, Villar said of hitting homers. I need a base hit because I need more stolen bases.Villar has 59 steals, one more than the Cincinnati Reds Billy Hamilton. He would become the franchises third stolen base champion, joining Scott Podsednik in 2004 (70) and Tommy Harper in 1969 with the original expansion Seattle Pilots (a club-record 73).Villar said manager Craig Counsell has told him he could develop into a 30-homer hitter.Im surprised by how much weve already seen it, Counsell of Villars power. What hes doing is rare, for sure.Villar also doubled. He went into Mondays game having gone only 3 for 35 in his previous 11 games.The Brewers clinched fourth place in the NL Central.Garza (6-8) allowed three runs and six hits in six innings. He spent the second half of the 2013 season with Texas as a rental acquisition from the Chicago Cubs, going 4-5 with a 4.38 ERA. It was Garzas first appearance against Texas since 2010.I take it as this is our playoff right here, said Garza, who won a must-win Game 3 in the Division Series for the Tampa Bay Rays in his most recent appearance at Globe Life Park in 2010. Theyre a good team, and you want to go out there and perform.FAMILIAR FACES IN A DIFFERENT PLACEMondays game was a reunion for former Brewers Jonathan Lucroy and Jeremy Jeffress, who were traded to Texas on Aug. 1.Lucroy, who played 6 1/2 seasons for Milwaukee, went 1 for 4. Jeffress made his first appearance since being reinstated Friday from the restricted list. He was arrested on a drunken driving charge in Dallas on Aug. 26 and was sent to an inpatient rehab clinic. Jeffress retired all four batters he faced.Getting this one out of the way is going to be pretty good for the next one, Jeffress said.He deserves to enjoy whats going on here and deserves to be a part of it, Counsell said. And hes going to help them.IGNORE THE MAN IN THE LOUD JACKETCounsell (Notre Dame graduate) will pay off a friendly college football wager with pitcher Corey Knebel (University of Texas) on the teams final flight of the season, from Texas to Colorado late Wednesday night.
