Brewers pulling away from Nationals  MILWAUKEE - In his last
three starts before tonight's game, Tom Gorzelanny had given up
four homers. He's allowed almost that many tonight.  Corey Hart,
who hadn't homered all season before tonight, blasted his second
of the game off Gorzelanny in the fifth inning, and Jonathan
Lucroy followed with a base hit later in the inning after Ryan
Braun's ground rule double. The Brewers now lead the Nationals
6-1 in the top of the sixth inning.  Gorzelanny hasn't had much
movement on his fastball for much of the evening, and he's paid
for it against an aggressive fastball-hitting team. But he's
been struggling for his last several starts, and for the third
outing in a row, he's failed to make it through the sixth
inning.  Henry Rodriguez will pitch the sixth inning for the
Nationals, who would be guaranteed a losing road trip if they
lost tonight.  blog comments powered by Disqus
