Brewers Bullpen Gives One Away

The Milwaukee Brewers bullpen has been great for most of the season, but last night they let one get away from them. Brewers starter Shaun Marcum deserved a better fate then he got last night. Marcum pitched six innings and gave up no runs and two hits, but threw over 100 pitches. Brewers manager Ron Roenicke decided to go to the bullpen and they could not hold the lead. Marco Estrada came in and it fell apart for the Brewers and they eventually lost 2-1 to the New York Mets.

Prince Fielder went deep for his 15th home run of the season, but the Brewers really did nothing else against former Brewers pitcher Chris Capuano who pitched real well. His only mistake was to Prince Fielder. This is a game the Brewers let get away and it should not have happen, but it did.

he Brewers drafted 3B Trent Boras in the 30th round of the first-year player draft on Tuesday. He is the son of agent Scott Boras, who represents Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder. … One round earlier, the Brewers selected right-hander David Lucroy, the younger brother of Lucroy. Tonight the Brewers will send Randy Wolf to the mound and try to get back on track.
