After a five-game losing...

After being thrashed in the first three games, the Brewers still remained atop the division, but a four-game sweep would’ve been bad for morale, especially at home. Colin Rea got the start for the Brewers after being called up due to the injury to Wade Miley. Alex Cobb got the start for San Francisco.

Michael McLoone-USA TODAY Sports Predictability is hurting Milwaukee’s ace After a blowout loss to the San Francisco Giants on Friday, Corbin Burnes gets the ball on Saturday afternoon seeking to get the Brewers back on track. Handing the ball to Burnes in such a situation would typically be a source of comfort. That has not been the case this season. In 10 starts, Burnes owns a 3.97 ERA, 3.90 xERA, and 4.81 FIP. It would be easy to downplay those numbers as nothing more than a slow start were they not a continuation of a trend that began last summer. Since the start...

Photo by Stacy Revere/ Julio Teheran was great in his Brewers debut, but the offense didn’t back him up. Box Score The Brewers continued working through a list of replacement starters on Thursday night with the first start of Julio Teheran, who had just recently signed with the team. Teheran debuted and was strong, but the offense provided no support as the Brewers were shut out by the Giants 5-0. In his first start with the team, Teheran gave them some great innings.

Major League Baseball said, indirectly, on Thursday that if these changes aren’t made, Milwaukee may need to find a new favorite spot to watch baseball.
