After his run-in with Frank Robinson, he was on his way out of town. It'll be interesting to see how he will handle Ned Yost, the Brewers' manager.

His disrespect of manager and legend Frank Robinson, to whom he refused to yield the baseball, bought him a one way ticket out of Dodge.

It will be interesting if Ohka continues his good pitching for the Brewers, though Ohka needs to cut down the walks.

Ohka threw a complete game shutout against the Devil Rays in his first start for the Brewers. Ohka gave up 9 hits, walking none, and striking out 6. [Game Recap - MLB.com] [Box Score - MLB.com]
