MILWAUKEE — Fresh off a frustrating weekend series loss to the Red Sox at Fenway Park, manager Oli Marmol cut right to it in assessing where his team was underperforming. 'We need a right-hander to get outs in the middle innings,' Marmol said. 'It needs to get better. I've said it before, I'll continue to say it. I'm not using (Giovanny Gallegos) down two. Gio is here to pitch when we're even and ahead. (Ryan) Helsley is here to pitch in high-leverage situations, not down two.' 'You don't want to continue coming up short in the ninth inning because you can't hold a lead or a deficit to what it is in the middle innings,' he added.
