When Joe Ross’s injury limited him to one inning in yesterday’s game, the Brewers needed to use, essentially, their entire bullpen. Extra innings did not help. That they ended up losing made it even worse. Today, the Brewers were hoping for an efficient outing from starter Robert Gasser. Or a blowout. Or both. They got one of those things, but they’d need to ride out a stressful one again, with clutch hits from their biggest stars making the difference.
After the Brewers struggled to get their offense going yesterday, the Brewers struck early in this one.
