Talbot also leaves early, being ejected for throwing at A-Rod.

The Braves fall behind the Cardinals in the race for the best record in the National League with a 4 – 0 loss to the Brewers. The game is marred by a bench-clearing brawl in the 1st, after Carlos Gomez takes Paul Maholm deep to open the score, then admires the flight of the ball, flips his bat and trots slowly around the bases while shouting at Maholm. Gomez, Atlanta 1B Freddie Freeman and back-up C Gerald Laird are all ejected as a result of the melee; Gomez later explains that Maholm had twice hit him with pitches in previous games and it was his way of evening the score. Kyle Lohse needs only 89 pitches to pitch the two-hit shutout. Gomez will be handed a one-game suspension and a fine for his actions, as will Braves OF Reed Johnson, who although not ejected was the first player to leave the bench to join the confrontation.
