Brewers drop another tough one
So the Brewers lose their second straight to the Rockies and take the series loss. Having Dave Bush on the mound against Jorge De La Rosa it looked like an easy victory for the crew before it even started. De La Rosa came out sharp and showed the Brewers what they let go years back. Usually hitting lefties well, the crew only managed 4 hits and 2 runs off De La Rosa in 6 innings of work and struck out 8 times. For the second night in a row the Brewers jumped out to a 2-0 lead only to give it up in the end. It's not like the pitching has been terrible for these two games giving up just 3 and 4 runs. The offense certainly needs to step it up and score more than 2 runs per game. One thing to notice is the crew not taking advantage of opportunites when they arise. A Prince Fielder leadoff bloop double in the 8th inning has to turn into a run. It's situations like those that can cost you runs and sometimes even a game. Hopefully the crew can salvage one game in this series tomorrow with Gallardo on the mound and the offense looking to back him up. GO CREW!
