Keston Hiura played so well in his debut last night that he moved up one spot in the batting order. He and the rest of the Brewers’ lineup would have to face Jake Arrieta, and the NL East leading Philadelphia Phillies. Gio Gonzalez got the start for the Brew Crew, and he was effective once again. More on that later.
The scoring started early in this one. In the top of the first, Lorenzo Cain singled to left. Jake Arrieta followed the hit by hitting Christian Yelich. With the crowd screaming expletives at him, Ryan Braun singled sharply, scoring Cain to take an early lead.
