The Milwaukee Brewers have come out of the gates firing on all cylinders, posting a record of 8-2 following their win over the Boston Red Sox on Monday night.
This dominance can be seen in Milwaukee’s batting numbers, ranking in the top four in the league for batting average (. 271), on-base percentage (. 376), slugging percentage (.
437), and OPS (. 813). Just as their production from the batter’s box has been on point, so has their pitching staff, with the Brewers maintaining a team ERA of 3.
44, which places them in the top ten teams in the league for the metric, but it appears that their pitching core is set to take a hit. Jared Koenig’s sprained UCL is a “big concern,” Pat Murphy says, though the initial read is that it can be treated with rehab. Best case is he’s back in 2-4 weeks.
