u25a0Jonathan Lucroy hit leadoff on Thursday, becoming the first catcher to do so for the Brewers since Jason Kendallon July 24, 2009. Manager Craig Counsell said it wasn't going to be a long-term move.
"It's just very temporary," said Counsell, who hit second behind Kendall in that 2009 game against the Atlanta Braves. "Him and (Gerardo) Parra were going to hit first or second. It was just splitting the lefties up. Nothing more than that."
u25a0Carlos Gomez missed a second consecutive game with a sore groin.
