Tough Afternoon for Starters
Three of the four starters in the two games this afternoon didn't get to the fourth inning. The first to leaves was Chris Young, who suffered arm fatigue after the first inning. He was soon followed by Brad Radke, who allowed five runs in the 2nd inning. He didn't show up for the third.
Eric Milton did show up for the third, in which he gave up his fifth run. He also allowed two homers to bring his total to 39 for the season.
At least Chris Capuano is pitching decently. Through five he's struck out five, although he's allowed a homer and three runs. However, the Brewers are on top 9-3, so it looks like Chris should pick up a win.

Maybe the Brewers are trying single-handedly to end the game's September scoring slump, which we discussed elsewhere. Hardy just cranked a slam to make it 13-3.
Capuano is an interesting pitcher. In the minors and majors he always had good K-BB numbers but coughed up homers. This year he's limiting the longball damage and getting nice overall results: 15-9, 3.52.
