However, it ran just long enough to build a lead, which Kyle Harrison protected in a 4-1 win this afternoon.
Most of the Brewers’ offense came with two outs in the first inning. William Contreras started off with a two-out single. Then, back-to-back walks of Gary Sánchez and Jake Bauers loaded the bases.
That left it to Luis Rengifo to bring in a run, and he hit what should have been an easy ground ball straight at Brady House. However, House did not catch the ball as it bounced off of his glove, and by the time he recovered there was no play. Contreras scored on the error and the Brewers had a 1-0 lead.
That gave Brandon Lockridge an at-bat with the bases loaded. He cashed it in, hitting a ground ball between second and third for an RBI single, scoring both Sánchez and Bauers. Just like that, the Brewers were staked to a 3-0 lead before Harrison even took the mound (with all three runs unearned).
