Yesterday's Results
The Brewers offense never got going in Toronto yesterday. They managed one run on four hits, with the lone run scored coming on a Ryan Braun RBI double. Marco Estrada had a good pitching line, going six innings and allowing just two runs. However, both runs scored on solo home runs, which continued his home run struggles this year. Rob Wooten allowed the other two runs in the eighth inning.
