Brewers' Tobias Myers: Tosses 5.2 frames in no-decision

Myers allowed four runs (two earned) on eight hits and one walk while striking out one batter over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Thursday.

Myers didn't come close to matching the 7.1-inning scoreless gem he tossed in his previous outing, but he would have had another quality start Thursday had he been able to get one more out. The right-hander exited in the sixth with the score tied 3-3, and he watched from the dugout as one more run was added to his ledger when Elvis Peguero allowed an inherited runner to cross the plate. While this wasn't among Myers' better starts -- especially from a strikeout perspective, as he induced just four whiffs and notched only one punchout -- he did show the ability to hang around against elite competition. The rookie has now allowed two or fewer earned runs in 11 of his past 12 appearances, and he has a sparkling 1.86 ERA over 72.2 frames during that span.
