    Jonathan Lucroy and his Brewers teammates support suspended star Ryan Braun.

    Braun was the first player to be suspended for baseball's latest drug scandal. He spoke to his teammates, issued a statement and left Miller Park without answering questions Monday.

    "I am not perfect," he said in the statement. "I realize now that I have made some mistakes. I am willing to accept the consequences of those actions."

    Lucroy said Braun pulled him aside and apologized before speaking for about five minutes to the team.

    "We all went up to him and said we support you anyway," Lucroy said after the Brewers lost 5-3 to the Padres on Monday night. "We understand it's a tough situation. He came out. He said his piece and got done. We forgive him. I don't think anybody here is going to hold a grudge."
