MILWAUKEE -- An ugly road trip for the Blue Jays has the team longing for a return to Toronto. Greg Mabin Jersey . The Blue Jays lost for the sixth time in seven games on the trip, falling to the Brewers 6-1 as Milwaukee pitchers retired 24 consecutive Toronto hitters to close out the game. "We just want to go home," shortstop Jose Reyes said. "It seems like we play better baseball at home. You come out with the kind of lineup we have and score only one run." In his third start since being recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Aug. 9, Milwaukee starter Mike Fiers (3-1) held the Blue Jays to two hits and a lone run and retired the final 18 batters he faced in a 106-pitch outing. "At the same time, you have to give some credit to the pitcher from the other side," Reyes said. "He did an unbelievable job." The Brewers, who won their fifth consecutive game, jumped on Toronto starter J.A. Happ (8-8) immediately, belting three doubles to take a 2-0 lead in the first inning. The Blue Jays got on the board in the second on Munenori Kawasakis RBI ground out. The Brewers added two doubles in the third to extend their lead to 4-1. Milwaukee hitters connected for another pair of doubles in the fifth and added two more runs, staking Fiers to a five-run lead. Happ lasted just 3 1-3 innings, giving up six hits and four runs. It marked his shortest start since going just 2 1-3 innings against the Los Angeles Angels on May 10. "I got us in a hole early," Happ said. "Its tough against anybody, let alone a first-place team. Everybodys got to do their part and I came up short tonight." Toronto manager John Gibbons said his team needs to regroup as it heads into the final stretch. "Were in a little bit of a rut," he said. The Blue Jays squandered early chances against Fiers and fell behind as Happ struggled. "We couldnt do anything with Fiers," Gibbons said. "But you still have to come back when youre down early. We really havent been able to put together anything offensively in awhile." DOUBLE TROUBLE: The Brewers set a season high with seven doubles. The team single-game record is nine, accomplished four times. Lucroys two doubles brought his season total to 42. "I got a couple mistakes up in the zone and I was able to take advantage," Lucroy said. No primary catcher has ever led his league in doubles for a season. Lucroy, who played first base in Tuesdays game, has 35 doubles as a catcher, six as a first baseman and one as a designated hitter. "Luc always has good at-bats," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. The major league record for doubles by a catcher in a season is 45 by the Rangers Ivan Rodriguez in 1996. TRAINERS ROOM Brewers: RHP Jim Henderson, on the disabled list since May, had right shoulder surgery on Tuesday, ending his season. .RHP Matt Garza, on the 15-day DL with an oblique strain, could return to the rotation in early September, and RHP Kyle Lohse, who is nursing a sore ankle, wont pitch during the five-game home stand, manager Ron Roenicke said. Blue Jays: Edwin Encarnacion, who was activated on Friday after missing more than a month with a quad injury, started at first base. He started the previous three games at DH, not an option in the National League ballpark. "We need him," manager John Gibbons said. ON DECK Brewers: Rookie Jimmy Nelson (2-3. 3.86 ERA) has five consecutive quality starts and has been counted on heavily with injuries to Garza and Lohse. The Brewers are 4-3 in Nelsons seven starts. Blue Jays: R.A. Dickey (9-12. 3.95) will pitch the finale in the two-game series. Dickeys nine losses on the road are tied for the most in the majors. Wholesale 49ers Jerseys China . The weekend at Oriole Park has been less kind, with three players suffering varying degrees of injury. The worst ailment of the three, at least optically, is the deep bone bruise suffered by Adam Lind when he fouled a pitch off the top of his right foot in the sixth inning of Saturdays game. Stitched San Francisco 49ers Jerseys . Despite Barcelona showing the same vulnerability in defence, Messis best performance since returning from a lengthy injury layoff ensured that his side bounced back from a defeat by Valencia in the previous round. http://www.cheap49ersjerseyssale.com/?tag=raheem-mostert-jersey-sale . -- The Minnesota Vikings released reserve cornerback A.Each week, The Reporters put their thumbs out to the good and the bad in the world of sports. This week, they discuss the NCAAs revenue sharing, Don Zimmer, soccer language and Super Bowl 50. Dave Naylor, TSN Radio 1050: My thumb is down to world of big-time American college sports, which reminded us again this week there is no end to hypocrisy when it comes to sharing wealth with its players. This week Alabama football coach Nick Saban and Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari were rewarded with contracts worth more than $50 million each. This comes just as the NCAA is about to begin defending its right not to share revenues with players; in the lawsuit filed by former UCLA basketball star Ed OBannon, which starts on Monday. How the NCAA can argue theres not enough money in the system to compensate players when coaches like Saban and Calapari can earn more than $6 million a year should be interesting. But we just know theyll find a way to do it. Dave Feschuk, Toronto Star: My thumb is up to baseball characters. May they live forever in our memory, even as they leave us. The game lost an unforgettable one this week with the passing of Don Zimmer. In a sport built on stories, his was a pure classic. Zimmer met Babe Ruth as a boy, got married to his high-school sweetheart at home plate of a minor-league park, played with Jackie Robinson and won a World Series with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Hell probably be remembered best for charging Pedro Martinez back in 2003, when Zimmer was in his 70s at the time. As he said later, "I sure wasnt going over there to kiss him." Baseballs heroes arent always so easy to embrace. So often today we focus on money and moneyball. Zimmers life was about finding a love and fighting to keep it. He loved basebaall so much, it nearly killed him. Frank Gore Jersey. As a player, he survived two fastballs to the head. One put him in a coma, another caved in his face. He kept playing after both. He got fired four times as a manager, but he never retired. Nobody ever wanted him to. For characters as unique as Zimmer, there are no replacements. Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated: As I said four years ago, and plan to say again in 2018, my thumb is down to anybody in this country who plans to speak world cup soccer English for the next month. I dont want anyone saying a goalkeeper had a clean sheet. Clean sheets are in your linen closet. He had a shutout. The score, maybe, was one nothing, not one nil. And please dont tell me the United States needs a result against Ghana. A loss is a result, not a good result, but a result. And just so were clear, its not football here, its soccer. Alright, now carry on and keep calm. Dave Hodge, TSN: My thumb is up, though not for long, to the National Football League for deciding to ditch the Roman numeral "l" for super bowl 50, to be played in February of 2016. The use of Roman numerals began with super bowl 5, sorry, "v", and it has proved to be very successful - in creating confusion. Now that couldnt have been its intention, but what else, pray tell, was it supposed to do? Make the event seem bigger than it is? It needs no help from an ancient alphabet. But, as I said, the NFL is praised here only briefly, because it will return to Roman numerals for super bowl 51 - LI - and theres no end in sight, unless its super bowl 59, which will read LIX, and maybe the NFL wont be fond of Super Bowl licks, which come to think of it, was last seasons super bowl - Denver taking its licks from Seattle.
