PHILADELPHIA, PA (WSAU) — Milwaukee has now lost 7 of their last 8 games, following Sunday afternoon’s 6-3 loss to the Phillies.
Starter Junior Guerra could only last 4 innings and was roughed up in those 4 innings, allowing 5 earned runs on 5 hits and only striking out 3.
Jonathan Villar and Ryan Braun were responsible for the 2 Brewer runs. Villar with a 2 RBI single in the 5th inning and Braun with an RBI double in the 8th.
Milwaukee is off on Monday but things won’t get any easier for the Brewers when they return to action, as they open a 3-game series with the NL East leading Nationals on Tuesday in the Nation’s Capital. Milwaukee will get to turn to one of their better starters this season, however, as Zach Davies will take the mound in the series opener. Pregame coverage is set for 5:30 on the Brewers Radio Network.
