In baseball, it’s difficult to win if you can’t consistently push runs across the plate. So it’s no wonder that the Milwaukee Brewers, who have scored an average of 2.86 runs per game since May 1st, have gone only 4-10 so far this month. After getting defeated by the Braves on Saturday night, the Cream City Nine have seen their record fall to .500 overall at 20-20.
Brett Anderson started for the Brewers and put his team into an early hole that, for this offense, felt close to insurmountable. In the first inning, Freddie Freeman walked with one out, then moved to second when Marcell Ozuna singled.
