    Marco Estrada needed only a slight adjustment to keep the Atlanta Braves off balance.

    Once Brewers pitching coach Rick Kranitz told him in the middle of the first inning to take less time between pitches, Estrada found the perfect rhythm.

    "I felt good with the fastball early, but the off-speed pitches weren't there," Estrada said. "I think it was because my tempo was too slow. So I picked it up, picked up the pace. The changeup was coming out a lot better after that."

    Estrada pitched seven innings, Carlos Gomez and Jonathan Lucroy homered and the Milwaukee Brewers beat Atlanta 5-0 on Monday night.
