Brewers' Aaron Civale: Allows five runs in loss

Civale (2-8) took the loss against the Nationals on Saturday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk with three strikeouts over four innings.

Civale allowed four two-out runs in the first inning and then surrendered a solo homer in the third. His velocity was down on each of his offerings, and he generated only five swinging strikes on 80 pitches. The 29-year-old hasn't recorded a win since April 9 and will bring a 5.14 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 108:37 K:BB into a home matchup with the Reds next week.
