00:00Streaks are meant to be broken. Yes, they are. And the Milwaukee Brewers had a really good run,
00:04which included good, beating good clubs, as you should say, such as the Philadelphia Phillies.
00:08They took that win streak on the road yesterday to take on the Cincinnati Reds. The final score
00:12of that game, four to two. Hey, another victory for the Brewers? No, it wasn't. It was a victory
00:17for the Cincinnati Reds trying to climb back over 500 in the Central Division. So a big tilt.
00:22The Brewers dropped to 33 and 29, but let's understand how this game also played out.
00:26Freddie Peralta was on the mound pitching for the Brewers. Quality pitcher. Six innings pitched,
00:30seven hits, three earned runs given up. His ERA still sticking under three at a 2.92. That's a
00:36good start. You'll take that. Bullpen came in. Didn't help out all that much at this point,
00:42but the Cincinnati Reds picking up that victory. Peralta was good enough to win that game.
00:46Hunter Green, here was the question we came in yesterday, right? Such a good young pitcher here.
00:50Started the season absolutely on fire and gets the dreaded hamstring injury. This was his third
00:55start coming back after that hamstring injury, but it was sort of like they were taking an ease on
00:59him, right? Let's not get you out of the sixth inning. Let's have you on a pitch count. I don't
01:02think he was really on a pitch count yesterday, but only goes five innings pitched. Two earned
01:06runs, seven strikeouts, gives up a home run. 85 total pitches, so certainly not letting him go into the
01:1290s or close to 100 for an extra inning. The bullpen for the Cincinnati Reds, much better yesterday
01:17than the Milwaukee Brewers. Barlow, Ashcraft, Centillian, and Pagan, all pitching shutouts there
01:23after helping out Hunter Green. Green ends up there. Does Green actually get to win that? No,
01:27he actually didn't. Did he get to win? No, Ashcraft actually picked up the win, so when he left the
01:31game, we were still tied. Also, if you were watching this all the way through, there was a chance for
01:36the Brewers in the ninth inning, man. That final out with Pagan on the mound, that was an absolute
01:41rocket shot to center field with legitimate chance for a home run. Ends up being caught by the Cincinnati
01:46Reds, and they pick up that victory. If you take a look at the lineup there, the usual suspects.
01:50I've been a big fan of Friedel in the top of that Reds lineup. He goes one for four yesterday,
01:56now up to 3-0-4 on the season. We also take a look at Eli De La Cruz yesterday. One for two in that
02:01game, gets two free trips with bases. Stevenson had a couple base knocks, Steer had a couple base
02:05knocks, but the one guy I'm looking forward to in this game, which even in a losing effort and sort
02:09of snapped that streak, was Christian Yelich. Big game yesterday, or excuse me, big game two days ago,
02:14Pax sat down with two of four yesterday, which included an RBI. It just wasn't good enough.
02:20The better pitching yesterday was from the Cincinnati Reds aspect here, and that's usually
02:23a hitter's ballpark. Make no mistake about it, with warmer temperatures as the way it's set up.
02:28Yesterday, it was the Cincinnati Reds upending the Milwaukee Brewers. Now, if we take a look at the
02:32Brewers season statistics now, which includes the record, 33-29 on the season. To win the NL Central,
02:39that's a pretty hefty price here, at a plus 950 to try to chase down those Chicago Cubs. You take a look
02:44at the NL pennant numbers, 36-1, and the winning World Series. That is 80-1 people for the Brewers.
02:51One of those teams that doesn't do it with a lot of excitement, but seems like on a year-to-year
02:54basis, usually very good. Council leaves them, goes over to the Cubs. We'll see how they can
02:58certainly factor through that, but that's certainly an interesting one here.
