Cleveland starter Danny Salazar (8-5) allowed only two hits through six innings but was hurt by both in losing his first start since the All-Star break. With each gnome, winners take home a prize package, including tickets to an upcoming Brewers game. In four starts before heading to the DL, Garza gave up a combined 21 runs on 24 hits including six homers.

An error by Francisco Lindor later proved costly, as the bullpen struggled to keep it close.

He started the year at Double-A Huntsville and was promoted to Triple-A Nashville after going 8-1 with a 1.73 ERA and 0.849 WHIP in 12 starts and two relief appearances, working 73 innings and striking out 64. Matt Garza comes off the disabled list after battling a shoulder problem to face Cleveland. The Brewers and Indians celebrated the movie “Major League” Tuesday night. Zach McAllister relived Salazar but couldn’t record an out, allowing three runs on three hits, though only one of them was earned after a poor throw by Lindor led to two additional runs.
