| MILWAUKEE -- After a stretch of inconsistency, Matt Garza is beginning to resemble the pitcher the Brewers envisioned when they signed him to a $50 million deal last off-season. Garza took a shutout into the seventh inning and Mark Reynolds hit a two-run homer, sending Milwaukee to a 6-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Monday night. "This was a really nice ballgame," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "He came out with a great fastball, he located it well, it had life on it. His sliders were outstanding. He threw good curveballs, so yes, I thought this was a really good game for him." Garza (3-4) scattered six hits over 6 1-3 scoreless innings against the team that brought him to the big leagues in 2006. Garza, signed to a four-year contract as a free agent, struck out eight and walked two for his first win since May 5. "Ive been feeling good," Garza said after his best outing since his first start of the season, when he allowed one run and two hits in eight innings of a 1-0 loss to Atlanta. "Baby steps. Ive felt great. My mechanics are where I want them to be and Im getting back to where Ive been." Kyle Gibson (4-5) allowed four runs and six hits in six innings. Gibson has won just one of his last eight starts after winning his first three. The Brewers took a 2-0 lead in the fourth on consecutive RBI singles by Jonathan Lucroy and Carlos Gomez. Reynolds followed Scooter Gennetts leadoff double in the fifth with an opposite-field shot to right for his team-leading 13th home run to make it 4-0. "I just made the wrong pitch," Gibson said. "I had a guy on second with less than two outs and I had gotten Reynolds away his first at-bat. And any good hitter right there is trying to move the runner over to third. And I got beat on not my best pitch. I threw him a four-seamer away and the sinkers obviously my best pitch. A sinker there, Id probably feel a whole lot better about it. Should have gone in. He was trying to hit a ball the other way and I gave him the pitch he needed to do it." Milwaukee added an unearned run in the seventh and another on Lucroys third homer in the eighth. After three perfect innings by Gibson, Jean Segura opened the fourth with his sixth bunt hit of the season. Segura advanced to second on Ryan Brauns groundout and scored on Lucroys single up the middle, with Lucroy going to second on the throw. Gomez followed with another single back through the box. "They earned their way on," Gibson said. "The great bunt by Segura to start the inning, then Lucroy hit the ball up the middle. I got Gomez in a good situation, threw him a good slider and he did what good hitters do, he put the ball in play and found the hole with it." Milwaukee scored in the seventh on consecutive two-out errors by third baseman Trevor Plouffe. The Twins got a run in the eighth on an RBI infield single by Josh Willingham and another in the ninth on an RBI infield single by Brian Dozier. Minnesota, which stranded nine runners, squandered several scoring chances against Garza. Joe Mauer doubled with one out in the first, but was stranded at third. Mauer doubled again to open the fourth and did not advance. In the fifth, Gibson singled with two outs for his first major league hit and Dozier followed with a double, but Mauer struck out to end the inning. "It was more about keeping the runs off the board," Garza said. "We had some momentum and the last thing I wanted to do was go out there and break it. Mauer is a great hitter. He already hit two doubles and I just basically said, If youre not going to hit this, no one is." I just tried to get it really far in there. He swung and it worked out." NOTES: Brewers 3B Aramis Ramirez, on the 15-day disabled list with a left hamstring injury, went 2 for 4 as the designated hitter in his second rehab game for Class-A Wisconsin. Ramirez is expected to be activated for Wednesdays game at Minnesota and could be the DH in the American League ballpark. ... It was the first of four consecutive interleague games between the Brewers and Twins, two in Milwaukee followed by two in Minnesota. ... Gibsons soft liner just beyond the reach of Gennett at second was his first hit in four major league at-bats. ... Mauers two doubles gave him 290 for his career, moving him past Justin Morneau for fourth place on the Twins all-time list (since 1961). ... Brewers reliever Will Smith has made 14 consecutive appearances without allowing an earned run, covering 13 2-3 innings. Johnny Cueto Royals Jersey . The deal for Emery is worth $1 million.

TORONTO -- Nicolas Deschamps wasted little time impressing his new team -- and punishing his old one. Deschamps scored in his Toronto debut as the Marlies blanked the Syracuse Crunch 2-0 in American Hockey League action Tuesday. The 21-year-old left-winger was acquired by the Marlies NHL parent club, the Toronto Maple Leafs, earlier Tuesday in a trade with the Anaheim Ducks. "It was kind of weird," said Deschamps, a second-round draft pick by Anaheim in 2008. "I found out at 4 oclock, just before the game. It was weird, and pretty exciting, too. "The nerves kicked in a little more (playing against his old team). I just tried to keep it simple. I know all the guys over there, so it was a little harder to stay focused." Deschamps was obtained in exchange for Luca Caputi. The 23-year-old left-winger played as a visitor in Ricoh Coliseum, the rink he had called home for most of the past two seasons. "Thats exactly what you want," said Marlies coach Dallas Eakins. "You get a new guy in like that, its so important for him to feel good right away. "Especially the way it happened here tonight. We send Caputi over to their side and they send (Deschamps) over and they wore each others numbers. It was a real difficult situation for both players, but I thought Deschamps came in and played well." Kelsey Wilson also scored as Toronto won its second consecutive game to improve to 18-12-5 and remain in first place in the AHLs North Division. Wilson also added an assist. "I felt we got off to a sluggish start," Eakins said. "We woke up and got goinng after the first 12 or 13 minutes and from there I thought we had good efforts from our goalie right on up.dddddddddddd." Toronto netminder Jussi Rynnas made 25 saves for the shutout, winning his second straight start after playing just once in the previous 11 games. "I just love to win so much," Rynnas said. "I never (think about the shutout). If you start thinking about that, right away its one or two (goals against)." Eakins liked what he saw from the Marlies backup goalie. "This is a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately league," said the Toronto coach. "I think (starter Ben) Scrivens has just kind of played OK (recently) and thats not quite good enough. "So Jussi got back in the net last game and we went with him again tonight, and we will go with again (next game), hes starting to run." The Crunch dropped to 14-14-4, with Syracuse netminder Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers blocking 26 of 28 shots in a losing effort. Wilson opened the scoring at 13:35 of the first period when he whacked in his own rebound during a goal-mouth scramble in front of Drouin-Deslauriers. Deschamps gave Toronto a 2-0 advantage when he took a pass in the slot from Colborne and one-timed it between the Crunch goalies legs with 39 seconds remaining in the first period. "That was a great play by (Colborne)," Eakins said. "He held on to the puck and held on to the puck and Deschamps got himself into a good area and bang, its in the net. Thats a good starting point for the kid." Toronto went 0-for-5 on the power play while Syracuse was 0-for-4.
