About this Article

Milwaukee Brewers manager Ron Roenicke saw his center fielder lose a ball in the sun. Then he saw his team lose its way the rest of the game. A day after the Washington Nationals misplayed a pair of fly balls in the midday glare, it was the Brewers' turn to get in trouble. Carlos Gomez lost a ball in the sun, allowing Jayson Werth to end up with a two-out, two-run double as part of a six-run fourth inning Monday, and Milwaukee lost to Washington 12-2.
