So, of course, in the very first game of June, starter Joey Brown has to exit in the fifth inning with a twinge of elbow tendinitis (fortunately, only expected to be out about 4 days) and with the Brewers heading into the home stretch of this scheduling marathon and coming off a painful 13 inning, 13-12 loss at San Francisco, only to travel cross-country to play in Charlotte the very next night, it took some heroic bullpen performances by Armando Cruz and Ron Poblano, the only two relievers not already exhausted, and some suddenly red-hot Brewers hitting, to survive for what would look like an easy 8-1 victory.
