Laura Kaeppeler and Marco Estrada were the only pitchers in a Brewer uniform to have a good day today.
Yovani Gallardo lasted just 3.2 innings today and tied a career high by allowing four home runs. It's the second time in his career he's allowed four long balls in a game, and both times he was facing the Cardinals. In fact, Gallardo has allowed more than one home run in a game 13 times, and the Cardinals have five of them.
Today's game was the 40th time in franchise history a pitcher has allowed four homers in a game. The franchise record is five, held by five pitchers:
| Pitcher | Date | Opponent | IP | HR | Result |
| Randy Wolf | June 9, 2010 | Cubs | 4,2 | 5 | Brewers lose, 9-4 |
| Andrew Lorraine | September 2, 2002 (second game) | Cubs | 3.2 | 5 | Brewers lose, 17-4 |
| Valerio De Los Santos | April 9, 2000 | Cardinals | 3.2 | 5 | Brewers lose, 11-2 |
| Jeff D'Amico | September 21, 1996 | Tigers | 6 | 5 | Brewers win, 13-6 |
| Mike Caldwell | May 31, 1980 | Red Sox | 3.1 | 5 | Brewers win, 19-8 |
Lorraine is the only Brewer pitcher ever to allow five home runs in a game as a reliever. D'Amico, meanwhile, was actually the winning pitcher in his game.
