WP: Junior Guerra (4-1) LP: Daniel Mengden (0-3) Save: Tyler Thornburg (2) Homeruns: Mil, Scooter Gennett (7), Kirk Nieuwenhuis (3); Oak, Coco Crisp (6)
There has been fluidity in the Ace of the Staff spot for the Brewers this year. Jimmy Nelson looked like he would not only be the ace this year but for the foreseeable future with a fine start to the season, but has struggled in June. Zach Davies started slowly but has been exceptional as of late. Junior Guerra has pitched well since his call-up from Colorado Springs. Whether Junior is the Ace or not, he certainly played the part of Stopper today as he bested Daniel Mengden and the A’s in a 4-2 win, breaking a 4 game losing streak for the Brewers.
