The Milwaukee Brewers weren’t quite able to make it two straight comeback wins against the Chicago Cubs as they came up just short this afternoon. Tobias Myers, Milwaukee’s starter, struggled through three innings, while his counterpart, Jameson Taillon, cut through the Brewers lineup like a hot knife through butter for six innings before the Brewers got to the Chicago bullpen.
Things did not get off to a good start for Myers. Cubs leadoff hitter Nico Hoerner jumped on a 1-1 cutter that Myers left over the plate and put it in the left field bleachers. Myers then lost his command completely: he walked the next two batters on eight pitches, and finally threw a couple strikes but walked Christopher Morel as well to load the bases with nobody out.
