The Brewers faced an uphill battle on Wednesday afternoon. Chris Sale was on the mound for the Braves, and with the Braves strong bullpen behind him, runs were going to be at a premium. That’s how it ended up playing out, as the Brewers managed an early lead but couldn’t add on. Meanwhile, the Brewers bullpen couldn’t keep the Braves in check as the Brewers lost 6-2 on Wednesday afternoon.
The game started off well enough. The first three batters (Jackson Chourio, Rhys Hoskins, Gary Sánchez) all singled and the Brewers had a 1-0 lead before recording an out.
