Overview
- After striking out Daulton Varsho to end the eighth, Trevor Megill and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. traded words Thursday at American Family Field.
- Megill told reporters he rubbed the baseball on his pant leg during the inning and said he had nothing on his pants, adding that Davis Schneider complained from the bench.
- Announcers noted Megill appeared to look into the Blue Jays’ dugout and suggested the ball-rub may have set off Toronto, though the exchange stayed verbal and play continued.
- Milwaukee closed out a 2-1 victory to take two of three in the series, improving to 10-8, while Toronto managed six hits and only one run in the loss.
- The right-hander’s outing was a reset after rough appearances earlier in the week, as he worked a clean eighth with two strikeouts and drew a loud ovation from the home crowd.
