The Brewers took the loss on Saturday afternoon in a 6-4 defeat as starter Aaron Civale struggled to escape the first inning.
While the Brewers attempted a late comeback, the damage was done early as Civale surrendered four runs in the opening frame. After retiring the first two batters, he gave up four hits and a walk- including two doubles. With the bases loaded, Washington designated hitter Travis Blankenhorn landed a devastating blow with a double deep off the outfield wall. The pitch was fading several inches away from the strike zone. Blankenhorn was still able to reach out anyway, followed by Alex Call’s RBI single for a 4-0 lead.
