Bucks missed an opportunity

May 3, 2010 By

The Milwaukee Bucks fell behind early and had nothing left in the tank yesterday, losing game 7  of their opening round playoff series in Atlanta
95-74.

For the third time in the last four games, the San Diego Padres pitching staff blanked the Milwaukee Brewers, pulling out a 8-0 win in San Diego on Sunday.  Jon Garland and two Padre relievers combined on a 3-hitter.

It was the first time the Padres had three shutouts in a series of any length in their 42-year history.

Scott Hairston and Kyle Blanks hit back to back homers in the fifth inning for the Padres, who continue to lead the NL West.  The Padres out-scored the Brewers 21-2 in the series.

Randy Wolf took the loss for the Brewers.  He worked 5 innings, allowed 4-runs on 6-hits with 6 walks and 5 strikeouts.

The Brewers are off today.  They’ll open a series tomorrow night (Tuesday) against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
