It wasn’t a good Friday night for the Brewers pitching staff. They gave up eight runs and 17 hits as the Brewers were behind the whole night as they took an 8-2 loss to the Reds.
The Reds jumped on starter Jason Alexander right away. On the third pitch of the game, TJ Friedl homered to put the Reds up 1-0. From there, it just continued to spiral down. It wasn’t until the seventh Reds batter that the Brewers finally recorded an out, and even that was a run-scoring double play. The Reds batted around in the first, and they were ahead 5-0 after one inning.
