MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers are "pretty fortunate" to own a 7-9 record, manager Craig Counsell conceded, despite a series of pitching performances like the one Taylor Jungmann & Co. endured in an 8-1 loss to the Twins at Miller Park on Thursday.
Jungmann fell to 0-3 with an 8.47 ERA after setting a career high with six walks and allowing three Twins runs on four hits in four-plus innings. He pushed the composite ERA of Brewers starters to 5.87, the highest in the Majors, and when Minnesota added four runs over the final two innings against Sam Freeman, the Brewers had surrendered the most earned runs (84).
