MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Brewers will still be in first place Tuesday night when they take the field against the San Francisco Giants for Game 2 of a four-game set at Miller Park.
However, if they want to stay atop the National League Central at the end of the day, or any more this season, they will need their bullpen to get back on track.
The Brewers’ relief corps faltered Monday for the third time in four games, with Rob Scahill giving up a two-run double to San Francisco’s Aaron Hill to break an eighth-inning tie and struggling former closer Neftali Feliz letting the game get out of hand by allowing three more runs in the ninth.
