An early home run by Willy Adames provided some early energy, but the Brewers offense quickly evaporated in a 6-2 loss against the Cardinals on Tuesday night.
Chi Chi Gonzalez got the ball as a spot starter in place of Aaron Ashby, who was placed on the injured list yesterday.
While he wasn’t especially effective, Gonzalez ate some innings and kept his team in the game, which is exactly what the Brewers were looking for. He went four innings, allowing three runs on four hits, including a home run to Cardinals second baseman Nolan Gorman. The right-hander struck out two and walked one.
