Just when Atlanta Braves fans thought the trajectory was going upward, a loss was added to their record in game two against the Milwaukee Brewers.
The same fiery bats that were awake yesterday were nearly silenced today as the offense struggled to collect runs to best the Brewers’ four (runs) on the board to tie the series.
Grant Holmes tied for the most strikeouts (nine) in one game in his career through his five and one-third inning performance, giving up three earned runs and five hits in his outing of 100 pitches.
The first two runs were a two-run homer off his slider from Brewers’ Jackson Chourio in the bottom of the third inning.
