Game Twenty Three: Reds 7. Brewers 6

Box Score

The time has come to be worried about Yovani Gallardo. Today he allowed 13 base runners, 6 ER, and saw his ERA rise to a tidy 5.70. It seems like he forgot how to pitch after the Atlanta game. For a team with playoff aspirations, this is not good news. Fortunately Greinke will be back soon to pick up Gallardo's slack.

Quick thoughts on nothing in particular:

-It's nice to have Hart back. The Brewers now have 5 players in their everyday lineup with 25+ HR potential. I'm excited to see what the fully healthy lineup can do.

-Axford looked sharp again. I would have liked to see him pitch the top of the 10th. Last year Axford was very valuable in pitching multiple innings, and after a strong 9th he seemed good to go another frame.

-The Brewers need help in the middle relief department. With Takashi Saito scheduled to pitch a rehab assignment tomorrow in Nashville and LaTroy Hawkins coming back, it appears as if help is on the way.
