26 Kyle Lohse, SP

After going 0-3 with a 4.91 ERA in his last three outings, Brewers starter Kyle Lohse was able to limit most of his damage on Tuesday night against the Pirates. He allowed two runs on five hits with five walks over 5 2/3 innings of work.

The right-hander gave up a run in the first before making it through his next four frames unscathed. Then in the sixth, he put two of the first three batters on before a run scored on a groundout.

Lohse was done after throwing 104 pitches, 60 for strikes, and left in line for the win but the bullpen was unable to hold the lead. He also struck out three in a no-decision.

The 34-year-old is scheduled to make his next start on Sunday against the Cardinals. In two starts against St. Louis this season, Lohse is 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA.

In an effort to get Marco Estrada back on the track, the Brewers announced some changes to their starting rotation Friday, MLB.com reports. Hiram Burgos was inserted back into the starting rotation and will start Saturday against the Reds while Estrada, who originally was scheduled to start Saturday, was bumped back to Monday against the Pirates.

Meanwhile, Kyle Lohse, who was originally slated to start Monday, was pushed back to Tuesday.

Lohse, who has dropped his last three starts, went 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA in two starts against Pittsburgh last season.

Brewers pitcher Kyle Lohse dropped his third straight start in Wednesday's series finale against the Rangers. He allowed four runs on nine hits -- including two home runs -- over 6 1/3 innings in the 4-1 loss.

The right-hander gave up a run in each of his first three frames before settling down a bit. In the seventh, he put two men on before being pulled. The bullpen would allow an inherited runner to score.

Lohse, who threw 108 pitches, also struck out six and walked two while taking his fourth loss.

His next start is scheduled for Monday against the Pirates. He went 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA in two starts against Pittsburgh last season.
