In the eighth inning tonight, a Brewers offense that was grasping at straws all night managed to score two runs on four batted balls that had an average exit velocity of 63 mph and went combined distance of 23 feet in the air.

Baseball is a stupid game. Those two runs, plus a big day for Brewers’ starter Chad Patrick and a beleaguered Milwaukee bullpen (who pivoted to a likely new closer), were enough to finally put an end to the Milwaukee’s dismal six-game losing streak. Though no one would’ve predicted it at the time, Toronto nearly won the game in the top of the first inning.

After Marshfield native Daulton Varsho drew a walk with one out, he moved to third on a Vladimir Guerrero Jr. single and scored on a Jesús Sánchez sacrifice fly. It was 1-0 in the top of the first, but that score nearly stood for the entire game.

Milwaukee’s offense is missing a whole lot of punch right now, and Toronto starter Dylan Cease—the newly-minted $210 million man—smelled blood. Cease, who came in with a 2. 45 ERA and an absurd 26 strikeouts in less than 15 innings, was on his game.
