After taking three of four from the Mets, the Brewers bullpen was in need of some rest. Multiple relievers were unavailable and the team needed a night for recovery. The offense did their job and built a lead that could give the bullpen some rest. The few relievers available in the bullpen did not, and the Brewers took a demoralizing 8-7 loss on Friday night.
Early on, the Brewers offense did what they needed to do to support the pitchers. They got on the board first with a four-run third inning. Four different Brewers drove in runs that inning.
