If you missed today's game, you probably made the right decision. Yovani Gallardo allowed eight runs (five earned) on nine hits and two walks while recording just nine outs, including a six run first inning.
It was only the fourth time in his career Gallardo has allowed eight or more runs in a game. He's done it once each full season in his major league career:
| Date | Opppnent | IP | H | R | ER | BB | K |
| 6/19/2011 | Red Sox | 3 | 9 | 8 | 5 | 2 | 4 |
| 8/31/2010 | Reds | 5 | 9 | 8 | 8 | 3 | 6 |
| 8/4/2009 | Dodgers | 5.1 | 10 | 9 | 9 | 2 | 7 |
| 8/8/2007 | Rockies | 2.2 | 12 | 11 | 11 | 3 | 1 |
In case you're curious, here's what he did in his next start in each of the previous three occasions:
| Date | Opponent | IP | H | R | ER | BB | K |
| 9/6/2010 | Cardinals | 7 | 4 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 4 |
| 8/9/2009 | Astros | 7 | 6 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 4 |
| 8/15/2007 | Cardinals | 5.2 | 9 | 7 | 7 | 1 | 6 |
The Brewers went 1-2 in those three games.
