Tommy Milone got the start for the Brewers and pitched a solid five innings before behind pulled for a pinch hitter to start the sixth and the Brewers leading 4-1.

The start of the game was delayed 55 minutes by rain.

The Brewers dropped to 8-8 with the loss.  They return home to open a 10-game home stand with the first of a four game series against the St. Louis Cardinals.  Zach Davies (0-2, 8.79) pitches for the Brewers.  The Cardinals go with Carlos Martinez (0-2, 3.57) in the series opener tonight.
