![]() The Brewers gift-wrapped another run for the Cardinals in the fourth inning. We have a chance to come out tomorrow and put these last few behind us and hopefully it starts us off on the right foot." But this club’s too talented and we have too many good players on this team to have a prolonged one. You can’t ever predict when they’re going to happen or why they happen, per se. Hopefully, (Adrian) Houser comes out and pitches well tomorrow and keeps them off the board in the first and we go from there and settle into the game rather than starting with a deficit. The starting pitching sets the tone, obviously, and Woody (Brandon Woodruff) and Freddy (Peralta) had good starts.

Pitcher Miles Mikolas bunted the runner’s up, setting the stage for a rare two-RBI sacrifice fly by Tommy Edman. After a leadoff walk b y Edmundo Sosa, Harrison Bader hit a routine grounder to Escobar, who muffed it. His problems began in the first inning with a two-run homer by Tyler O’Neill, who hammered a high 2-2 cutter out to left field.Īn error by third baseman Eduardo Escobar paved the way for four more runs in the second and an early exit by Anderson. The first two innings couldn’t have gone worse for Brewers starter Brett Anderson, pitching for the first time since taking a liner off his pitching shoulder Sept.

But we've still earned a pretty good road ahead of us. Nobody's excited that we haven't played well the last four or five days. We've hit a bump in the road but that still leaves us in a pretty darn good spot. We don't want it to happen it's never any fun when it happens. "We're a really good baseball team that's hit a little bump in the road. "We played a great series in Cleveland we haven't played well since," manager Craig Counsell said. How bad was it?
