Brewers Ended Up Being Very Lucky That Avisail Garcia Homer Made It Out
Milwaukee Brewers’ offense has been anemic over the past week. They’ve barely scratched the surface with how they’ve been playing in the last week or so. Adam McCalvy pointed out yesterday the Brewers had lost 10 of their last 13 games. They’ve only had a few wins in the month of May. Milwaukee’s offense did break out and put up 10 runs on the board which is a season-high. Let’s hope that this is the start of the offense finding themselves and this is not just a mirage. Milwaukee should have coasted to a blowout victory, but the Brewers bullpen blew up leading to an Atlanta seven-run seventh. Atlanta ended up losing 10-9. Two of the Brewers’ runs came on an Avisail Garcia homer that barely left the ballpark. Those runs ended up mattering in a big way.

If Ender Inciarte catches this baseball, the Brewers lose 9-8 in the worst loss of the season. It is almost amazing how Inciarte didn’t catch that baseball. The ball seemed like it ended up in his glove and he was pulling it back. Yet it bounced off and went over the wall for a two-run dinger. Brewers are off today before heading on the road for two games against Kansas City. The Royals aren’t playing good baseball at the moment as they’re struggling almost more than the Brew Crew. Brandon Woodruff against Danny Duffy will be the matchup on Tuesday evening.
