MILWAUKEE -- It's been a whirlwind week for Padres starting pitcher Ian Kennedy, who avoided getting dealt before the Trade Deadline and then spent three days at home in California with his family after the birth of daughter, Evelyn Nicole.
So it's completely natural to see why he might not have been as sharp in the first inning of Wednesday's 8-5 loss to the Brewers at Miller Park.
Not that Kennedy is blaming a busy week and lack of sleep for his early struggles, as he allowed four runs on five hits in the first inning.
