Brewers Offense Falters Again, Losing to Nationals in a Close One

The Milwaukee Brewers offense struggled once more, dropping a tight game to the Washington Nationals. Forrest Griffin, a pitcher who recently returned from Japan, no-hit the Brewers through five innings. The teams scoreless streak extended to sixteen innings before a late push, but solid pitching from Kyle Harrison and Brandon Sproat kept the Nationals to three runs, resulting in a one-run defeat.

Harrison and Sproats performances were notable, as Harrison gutted out four and a third strong innings despite a wild throw to the knee covering first base. Sproat followed with bulk relief, nearly throwing scoreless ball despite some walks.

Fans are growing increasingly frustrated with the teams inability to score runs, as they stranded runners and managed just two hits total—neither until the sixth. William Contreras opposite-field homer sparked hope, but the team has been shut out for most of four straight losses, scoring only six runs combined. The Brewers are eagerly awaiting the return of Jackson Chourio to boost their offense.

In the ninth, Contreras homer ended the drought, and Christian Yelich reached second on a wild strikeout, putting the tying run at the plate. However, wild pitches and a bases-loaded groundout from Luis Ortiz sealed the late collapse against Clayton Beeter.

The pitching staff held strong tonight, giving the Brewers a chance to win tomorrow afternoon when Brandon Woodruff faces Zack Littell at one ten PM. The team needs to wake up their offense before this skid deepens further.
