Blue Jays and the Brewers, share slow starts

Everything is not OK with the Toronto Blue Jays as they get ready to play ball Tuesday at the Rogers Centre in their home opener.

Things are not exactly hopping for the Milwaukee Brewers, either, as they start their first road trip of the season with a two-game set against the Blue Jays.

The Blue Jays had a 1-5 trip to Baltimore and Tampa Bay, which included two extra-inning losses, to open the season.

Like the Blue Jays, the Brewers have had to use their bullpen frequently as well as dealing with injuries among relievers.

Before their game on Sunday, the Brewers selected the contract of right-handed reliever David Goforth from Triple-A Colorado Springs.

The Blue Jays will start left-hander J.A.

In his first start of the season against the Orioles, he allowed five hits (including two home runs), no walks and three runs in seven innings while striking out nine.

Happ is 3-4 with a 6.13 ERA in 11 career games (10 starts) against the Brewers.

Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun, who hit a three-run homer Sunday, was not ready to make any conclusions from the first week of the season.

“Obviously, 1-5 is not the way you want to start good thing there’s 162 of these,” Blue Jays shortstop Troy Tulowitzki said.
