[b]DaRon Payne Jersey[/b] .com) - Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Bronson Arroyo informed the media Monday that he will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery. Arroyo, who landed on the disabled list on June 15 with tendinitis in his right elbow, had an MRI taken last month that showed a sprained ulnar collateral ligament. The 37-year-old appeared to be close to returning after throwing on Friday without difficulty, but a reevaluation had the right-hander change his mind and decide to undergo surgery. The durable veteran had started at least 29 games in each of his past 10 seasons and had gone 369 starts without a DL stint. It was the second-longest active streak among pitchers, trailing only Torontos Mark Buehrle (443). Arroyo compiled a 7-4 record with a 4.08 ERA over 14 starts this season, his first with the Diamondbacks. Arroyo, who broke into the majors with Pittsburgh in 2000, owns a career record of 145-131 with a 4.19 ERA across 405 games with the Pirates, Red Sox, Reds and Diamondbacks.

The Blue Jays lost for the sixth time in seven games on the trip, falling to the Brewers 6-1 as Milwaukee pitchers retired 24 consecutive Toronto hitters to close out the game. "We just want to go home," shortstop Jose Reyes said. "It seems like we play better baseball at home. You come out with the kind of lineup we have and score only one run." In his third start since being recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Aug. 9, Milwaukee starter Mike Fiers (3-1) held the Blue Jays to two hits and a lone run and retired the final 18 batters he faced in a 106-pitch outing. "At the same time, you have to give some credit to the pitcher from the other side," Reyes said. "He did an unbelievable job." The Brewers, who won their fifth consecutive game, jumped on Toronto starter J.A. Happ (8-8) immediately, belting three doubles to take a 2-0 lead in the first inning. The Blue Jays got on the board in the second on Munenori Kawasakis RBI ground out. The Brewers added two doubles in the third to extend their lead to 4-1. Milwaukee hitters connected for another pair of doubles in the fifth and added two more runs, staking Fiers to a five-run lead. Happ lasted just 3 1-3 innings, giving up six hits and four runs. It marked his shortest start since going just 2 1-3 innings against the Los Angeles Angels on May 10. "I got us in a hole early," Happ said. "Its tough against anybody, let alone a first-place team. Everybodys got to do their part and I came up short tonight." Toronto manager John Gibbons said his team needs to regroup as it heads into the final stretch. "Were in a little bit of a rut," he said. The Blue Jays squandered early chances against Fiers and fell behind as Happ struggled. "We couuldnt do anything with Fiers," Gibbons said.

DOUBLE TROUBLE: The Brewers set a season high with seven doubles. The team single-game record is nine, accomplished four times. Lucroys two doubles brought his season total to 42. "I got a couple mistakes up in the zone and I was able to take advantage," Lucroy said. No primary catcher has ever led his league in doubles for a season. Lucroy, who played first base in Tuesdays game, has 35 doubles as a catcher, six as a first baseman and one as a designated hitter. "Luc always has good at-bats," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. The major league record for doubles by a catcher in a season is 45 by the Rangers Ivan Rodriguez in 1996. TRAINERS ROOM Brewers: RHP Jim Henderson, on the disabled list since May, had right shoulder surgery on Tuesday, ending his season. .RHP Matt Garza, on the 15-day DL with an oblique strain, could return to the rotation in early September, and RHP Kyle Lohse, who is nursing a sore ankle, wont pitch during the five-game home stand, manager Ron Roenicke said. Blue Jays: Edwin Encarnacion, who was activated on Friday after missing more than a month with a quad injury, started at first base. He started the previous three games at DH, not an option in the National League ballpark. "We need him," manager John Gibbons said. ON DECK Brewers: Rookie Jimmy Nelson (2-3. 3.86 ERA) has five consecutive quality starts and has been counted on heavily with injuries to Garza and Lohse. The Brewers are 4-3 in Nelsons seven starts. Blue Jays: R.A. Dickey (9-12. 3.95) will pitch the finale in the two-game series. Dickeys nine losses on the road are tied for the most in the majors.
