MILWAUKEE - A slow start to the new baseball season has cost Davey Lopes his job as manager of the Milwaukee Brewers, according to a team source. <br>
<br>
He's the second big league skipper to get axed during the first month of the current campaign. Coincidentally enough, Detroit's Phil Garner was the first. It was Lopes who replaced Garner on the Brewers bench after Garner was let go by Milwaukee <br>
<br>
The Brewers are riding a three-game losing streak into tonight's contest against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals. Their 3-12 start is the worst in franchise history. <br>
<br>
A team source reports Lopes will be replaced by either pitching coach Dave Stewart or bench coach Jerry Royster.
