'The last four or five games, I've been getting away from my game. I've been trying to pull the ball and hit home runs. That's not my style. Today I worked on trying to hit the ball the other way and bunt my way on." The Brewers had only eight singles off Kansas City starter Charlie Leibrandt but benefitted from five walks, a wild pitch, a balk and a hit batsman in the five innings Leibrandt pitched.
