July
The Brewers opened a rough month July with a 1-0 loss vs. the New York Mets. Yovani Gallardo had an excellent game finishing with a career-high 12 strikeouts, but was charged with the loss as the Brewer bats could not get anything of substance going against Mets pitcher Mike Pelfrey. After the team dropped three of four games to the Chicago Cubs, All-Star Ryan Braun expressed his disgruntlement by publicly calling out the team's starting pitchers. "We need to find a way to throw the ball a little better to have success," Braun said. He also offered some unsolicited advice for general manager Doug Melvin, saying "We're at the point right now where it would be important for us to go out there and acquire somebody...the sooner we do it, the better."
