Angels send Nick Tropeano to mound in Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE -- Nick Tropeano, who has been the Angels most consistent starter through the season's first month, will take the ball for a 5 p.m. PT game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday.

Tropeano has a 2.11 ERA through four starts. He has not allowed more than two runs in any of his outings. The down side is that he also hasn't finished six innings in any of them.

The Angels bullpen has pitched 16 innings over the last four games, so they could use a game in which Tropeano gets into the seventh, at least.

Tropeano will catch one break, with Brewers slugger Ryan Braun sitting out the game with "general soreness.
