The Milwaukee Brewers need to find a way to pitch a clean first inning. In Game 1 of the NLDS, Freddy Peralta allowed a leadoff home run to Chicago Cubs' first baseman Michael Busch. In Game 2, it was a three-run homer off the bat of Seiya Suzuki that put a damper on Aaron Ashby's opening attempt. Tonight, Quinn Priester surrendered four runs and was removed from the game before he could collect his third out.
It was a tough introduction to the postseason for the 25-year-old who grew up a Cubs fan, but Priester simply couldn't locate his pitches in the first inning.
