It was a battle of left-handers at American Family Field in Milwaukee on Friday night, as Eric Lauer and the Brewers took on old friend Wade Miley and the Cincinnati Reds. Much like he did to opponents during his stellar run with the Cream City Nine in 2018, Miley sliced and diced his way through the lineup, stymying Milwaukee’s hitters on the way to a team shutout.
The Brewers certainly had their chances in this game. They recorded seven hits and three walks against Miley, but could not break through. The Brewers left runners on base in the first, second, fifth, sixth, seventh, and ninth innings, including stranding men in scoring position in the first, fifth, seventh, and ninth.
