MILWAUKEE, WI (WSAU) — The Miami Marlins took advantage of Brewer pitcher’s wildness and a bizarre “obstruction” call and beat Milwaukee 6-2 on Wednesday afternoon at American Family Field.
Brewer pitchers issued 10 walks in the game including five by starter Zack Godley. Godley, starting for the injured Brett Anderson gave up four runs, three earned in 3 innings with five walks and five strikeouts. He left the game after injuring his hand during a bunt attempt.
The Marlins scored twice in the 2nd inning after first base umpire Marty Foster called a phantom obstruction call on Godley as he fielded a ball on the first base side. Replay did not show any obstruction although Foster continued to claim after the game that there was. Craig Counsell called it a “terrible call”. He said “it never happened and cost us a run”. “I have no idea what Marty was making up there”.
Former Brewer Jesus Aguilar continued to plague his former team with a three run homer in the 4th inning. Kolten Wong went deep for the Brewers.
Milwaukee falls to 14-10 and will start a big four game series with the LA Dodgers tonight…pre game show at 6:05 on WSAU.
