Wayne gives up a 2 run Single to the Pitcher.

The Brewers inability to score with men on base.

now in the 5th he walked 4 men and walked in the 4th run. Things are looking real bad and another series of getting swept.

 

But now we get to visit NY and The Battle for the 2004

first round Draft pick.

 

At least Sheets will give us a shot at not getting Swept.
