Cole Ragans had a strong outing, and the bullpen mostly held up, but the Kansas City Royals were unable to produce enough offense as they were defeated 3-2 this afternoon by the Milwaukee Brewers.
Milwaukee drew first blood with their second batter of the game. Jackson Chourio quickly went down 0-2 against Ragans but battled back to 2-2. That’s when Ragans threw a changeup that was begging to be crushed. Chourio obliged him, sending it out to the left-center stands for a solo homer. Isaac Collins doubled down the line two pitches later, but Ragans managed to record the next two outs without further incident.
