Jake Westbrook was pulled after allowing five runs -- four earned -- and nine hits in 4 2/3 innings Wednesday against the Brewers. Westbrook was given a big early lead -- seven runs in the first two innings -- but he was on the verge of letting it slip away when he was replaced by Kevin Siegrist in the fifth. Siegrist was able to get out of the jam, protecting the 7-5 lead and Westbrook's ERA. This really needs to be the end of Westbrook's time in the rotation, at least for a little while. Maybe Carlos Martinez will come up and replace him next week.
