One Inning Too Much

Debbi Taylor reported at the start of the Nationals game that Collin Balester worked out differently since his last start. He practiced throwing taking another step toward the plate at the end of his delivery to make sure he drove toward the plate. It seemed to work for a while as he limited the Brewers to two hits over five innings. He didn’t get an out in the sixth, however, as he gave up a double, homer, single and walk and wound up charged with four runs. The Brewers went on to a 7-1 victory.

Ryan Braun hit his 27th home run of the season and needs two more for 100 in his career. He’s also six RBI short of 300.
