The Brewers had an opportunity to gain a game on the Phillies in the Wild Card race, but a bullpen implosion evaporated a 4-0 lead and resulted in a 7-5 loss.
Aaron Ashby made the abbreviated start in his return from the injured list. He threw two scoreless innings, allowing one hit while striking out two and walking two. The southpaw labored in a 30-pitch first inning, but he followed it up with a perfect second.
The Brewers' offense staked the bullpen to a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the second. Kolten Wong and Andrew McCutchen led off with back-to-back doubles, and Omar Narvaez and Willy Adames added RBI singles.
