In the first game of 162, Josh Hader was utilized for a two-inning save. It would be a surprise to see him again before game four of the series with the Cardinals as manager Craig Counsell is not apt to over pitch his greatest bullpen weapon. While Matt Albers and Chase Anderson pitched reasonably well in the second game of the season, the rest of the bullpen failed in shutting down the Cardinals’ offense and most especially, Paul Goldschmidt.
Every Brewers’ fan knows at this point Corey Knebel is out for the rest of the season and maybe a good portion of 2020 due to Tommy John surgery.
