Left-hander Manny Parra has worked his way back in the mix to make a start for the Brewers before the all-star break. Demoted to Class AAA Nashville to work on his command, Parra turned in a stellar outing Friday night against Round Rock, pitching seven scoreless innings and allowing only two hits and two walks while logging seven strikeouts. After watching right-hander Seth McClung struggle in two starts (0-1, 12.28) since coming out of the bullpen, manager Ken Macha is exploring other alternatives. Parra, who struggled a bit in his previous outing, is 1-2 with a 2.92 ERA in four starts with Nashville well Didn not expect this to be a good Weekend with A rotation of Mcclung and Burns and Suppan going aganist the Cubs. I give great credit to suppan but no one here should think we can Contend with Burns and McClung in the Rotation.
