After a hiccup in the series against the Cubs, the Brewers offense has been heating up again. With another seven runs tonight, the offense provided more than enough for the pitching staff. They needed it, as the strong Brewers bullpen bent, but didn’t break in a 7-5 win over the Phillies.
The Phillies struck first, with Kyle Schwarber leading off the game with a solo home run. They added to that lead an inning later with another solo home run, this time from J.T. Realmuto. That put the Phillies up 2-0 after the top of the second.
