Yovani Gallardo only allowed two hits over six innings tonight, but struggled to find the strike one and walked six Mets. Those six walks tied a career high which he's now set three times:
| Date | Opponent | BB | IP | H | ER | Result |
| Tonight | Mets | 6 | 6 | 2 | 2 | Brewers lose, 3-1 |
| May 17, 2010 | Reds | 6 | 6 | 4 | 1 | Brewers lose, 6-3 |
| June 16, 2009 | Indians | 6 | 5 | 5 | 2 | Brewers win, 7-5 |
Gallardo didn't even walk five batters in a game in any of his appearances in 2011. He's the first Brewer to walk six in a game since Manny Parra did it in August of 2010.
With that said, six walks in a game are nowhere near the franchise record. Three Brewers have walked nine: Doug Davis in 2006, Everett Stull in 2000 and Jaime Cocanower in 1986. It's been a long time since a Brewer has approached that record, though: Ben Sheets walked seven in a game in 2008 and he's the only one that's even reached that mark in the last five+ seasons.
