Yesterday's Results
Matt Garza went back to his old ways last night, allowing five runs in five innings of work. It was too much for the Brewers offense to overcome, as they managed only two runs on seven hits. Ryan Braun led the offense with two hits and an RBI, and Jean Segura was the only other Brewer with multiple hits.
