Yesterday's Results
Yovani Gallardo struggled through four innings yesterday, allowing four runs, with three of those coming in the first inning. Marco Estrada pitched a few innings of relief to keep the Brewers alive, but Brandon Kintzler and Tom Gorzelanny combined to allow three more runs, and it was too much for the Brewers to rally from. Aramis Ramirez drove in two runs to lead the offense, and Carlos Gomez and Khris Davis both homered in the loss.
Cram Session
- A report came out yesterday that Mark Attanasio has interviewed to become the new MLB commissioner. It's a long shot, but this means he's still under consideration.

- Marco Estrada's extended relief appearance last night means that Mike Fiers will probably start on Saturday (though it's not official yet).
- Khris Davis sat again yesterday to rest his sore elbow, but did hit a home run in a pinch-hit appearance.
- Bullpen management has gotten tougher for Ron Roenicke in the second half of the season. Caitlin Swieca of Brewers.com looks at how Roenicke is adjusting to it.
- Over on The Brewers Bar, Ben Tannenbaum analyzes what the Gerardo Parra move means for the Brewers.
