MILWAUKEE -- The thought surrounding Brewers starter Kyle Lohse over the past few months was that if the veteran right-hander could get back on track after his poor start to the season, the club would be able to deal him by the Trade Deadline.
Lohse wasn't able to change that assumption, as his ERA stayed above 6.00, and the free agent-to-be remained with the rebuilding Brewers. On Sunday, his first start since the deadline, the struggles continued in Milwaukee's 4-3 loss to the Cubs.
Lohse managed just 4 1/3 innings in what would be his third-shortest outing of the season.
