Before today’s game, the Brewers learned that they’d have two players starting in the All-Star Game, as William Contreras and Christian Yelich prevailed in fan voting. During the game, Contreras and Yelich showed why they were in that lineup, but it was starter Colin Rea who was the star tonight as he shut out the Colorado Rockies for seven innings and made up for an offense that could score only three runs despite plenty of opportunities.
Brice Turang started the ballgame with a solid single into left field off of Rockies starter Dakota Hudson, but Contreras flew out and with Yelich at the plate, Turang was thrown out trying to steal (I’m truly sorry everyone – I’ve cursed him).
