Aside from one major mistake, Taijuan Walker gave the Phillies another serviceable outing.
But the offense could get nothing going against Brewers’ starter, Corbin Burnes, who dominated the lineup to the tune of 10 Ks over eight innings while scattering five measly baserunners on two hits (Nick Castellanos and Bryson Stott), one walk (Kyle Schwarber), a hit-by-pitch (Castellanos), and a wild pitch (Brandon Marsh).
Most of the Brewers’ damage was inflicted by leadoff man and former MVP, Christian Yelich, who finished a triple shy of the cycle in four trips to the plate with three RBI.
