After Miguel Rojas homered off the first pitch he saw from Adrian Houser, you might have rolled your eyes and thought, “Here we go again.”
After all, it had been about a week since Milwaukee fans had seen a win. In fact, it had been about a week since the Brewers saw a lead. In the interim, every game was a blow-out, a shut-out, or a potential come-from-behind win that instead fizzled out with the Crew one run down.
Immediately after that first pitch, though, Adrian Houser regrouped and delivered a top performance. He allowed one more first-inning hit, a soft single, and then retired the next eleven batters in a row.
