Meanwhile, Ryan Braun tied the franchise lead for home runs with his 251st on Sunday, a grand slam that accounted for most of the Brewers offense.
Brewers News & Notes
- Michael Blazek ended up on the 15-day DL on Friday with a right hand fracture. It is uncertain at this time if Blazek will pitch again this season, but it doesn't look likely. David Goforth was recalled from Colorado Springs to fill Blazek's roster spot.
- After Blazek injured his hand, he said that he is not sure how his hand was fractured, but it wasn't because of frustration after giving up a game-winning home run to the Cubs on Wednesday. Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel has the full story.
- The Brewers inducted Teddy Higuera into the Miller Park Walk of Fame on Friday. Higuera played for the Brewers for nine years and is third in career wins and strikeouts for the team.
- When the report that the Brewers were beginning the search for a new GM came out, the news got mixed up in several different ways, with reports saying that he had been fired, forced out, or just stepped aside immediately. Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel clears up the confusion on Doug Melvin's status and talks about the upcoming transition process.
- Over the weekend, David Denson of the rookie-affiliate Helena Brewers revealed that he is gay in an article published by the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Denson is the first player in affiliated professional baseball to reveal that he is gay.
