The Toronto Blue Jays lost to the Milwaukee Brewers and their starting pitcher Ben Sheets on Wednesday night by the score of 5-4. The Blue Jays attempted a nice comeback as they scored single runs in the sixth, seventh, and eighth innings, but they still came up one run short.
Shaun Marcum fell to 5-4 on the season as he took the loss for the Blue Jays. Marcum threw six innings and allowed six hits and four runs. Marcum couldn’t keep the ball down as he gave up two home runs which really hurt him.
Shawn Camp gave up one run while only recording one out before Scott Downs came in and pitched 1 1/3 innings. Jason Frasor also recorded one out which was the final out for the Brewers.
Greg Zaun went 3-2 with three rbi in the game. Zaun also had a solo home run in the eighth inning that brough the Blue Jays within one run. Joe Inglett had the only other recorded rbi for the Blue Jays as he had a rbi groundout in the seventh inning.
The Blue Jays now have to win on Thursday afternoon to avoid the three game sweep by the Brewers.
