Starter Robert Gasser was touched for four of the home runs in five innings.
He took the loss.
Here's his manager, Pat Murphy.
He's got to
grow from this and understand the pitch in the big leagues.
You've got to have an outpitch.
You've got to have something that, you know, they can swing a miss at, but I thought he did a really nice job mixing.
He got in a little bit of a groove there in the middle or a couple innings there, but it was fastball up and in and then change up down.
And then, you know, he'd left a few change ups up and
they got hit.

The Packers need Lucas Van Ness to deliver on the potential he has shown but not yet realized.
The first practice of Minicamp offers some hope there.
Van Ness had a tackle for loss on the very first play.
His pressure on the second play led to a turnover by quarterback Jordan Love.
Van Ness gives early credit to defensive coordinator Jonathan Love's approach
which offers players more freedom.
Green Bay is hoping Van Ness can deliver while all pro edge rusher Micah Parsons recovers from surgery.
The Brewers are investing long term in another young starter.
The team signed 21 year old top prospect Luis Lara to a seven year contract, including about $31 million of guaranteed money.
If all incentives are paid, Lara could pocket as much as 78 million
Milwaukee previously signed big deals with Jackson Cheerio and Cooper Pratt.
Lara is an outfielder known for his defense, but he's added power to his game.
He was in Milwaukee last weekend, taking a physical before officially signing the agreement.
That is an update on sports for Wednesday morning.
I am Phil Knee.
