Villanueva Gives up HR to Pitcher, Has Teeth Kicked In
Carlos Villanueva allowed five earned runs in 4 2/3 innings on Wednesday night to take his second loss. Villanueva allowed two walks and two home runs, and didn’t strike out a single batter. Villanueva’s ERA rose to 6.19 Wednesday and he has now lost his last two starts after winning April 4 against the Giants. The Brewers are bringing Yovani Gallardo off the DL in the coming days and somebody will get bumped from the rotation. Villanueva is a candidate, along with Dave Bush and Manny Parra. Villanueva has experience as a reliever, so he could easily get moved back to the bullpen. For now, he is on track to start in a rematch with the Cardinals Monday, but that could all change in a moment’s notice. Stay tuned. (Rotoworld)
