    Jonathan Lucroy was in no mood to celebrate a career night.

    The Brewers catcher believed his poor handling of his starting pitcher allowed the San Diego Padres to nearly rally from an eight-run deficit, got hit in the jaw on his own foul tip and made a baserunning mistake that ran his team out of a big inning.

    "Good thing we scored a lot of runs because I'm not happy with the way the game went pitching wise, me calling the game," Lucroy said. "They scored way too many runs for what I want. We shouldn't give up that many and I take a lot of that on myself."

    Lucroy tied career highs with three hits and three RBIs and Shaun Marcum won his fourth straight decision, lifting Milwaukee to an 8-6 victory over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night.
