The Milwaukee Brewers continued their struggles against the Minnesota Twins on Thursday afternoon, falling 6-4.
Mike Burns was just okay in his first career start. He gave up four runs and six hits over five and two-thirds innings.
Burns’ troubles started in the fourth when Justin Morneau singled in Span. Burns then walked Michael Cuddyer, bringing a run in.
Burns gave up another run in the fifth and sixth innings, putting the Brewers in a 4-0 hole before Casey McGehee's and Prince Fielder’s home runs brought the Brewers to within one run.
The Twins got two of those runs back in the seventh, however, and Brewers only managed one more run off of Ryan Braun’s eighth inning solo home run.
Brewers reliever Mitch Stetter’s consecutive outs by strikeout streak came to an end at 15, a franchise record.
It marks the end of another disappointing interleague series for the Brewers.
The Brewers start their series with the Giants Friday night with Yovani Gallardo (7-4) facing ace Matt Cain (9-1). Game time is 7:05 p.m. CT.
