Jason Alexander was due to regress a bit, but the regression is hitting pretty hard. Back in the rotation after Adrian Houser’s injury, he allowed seven runs tonight as the Brewers lost to the Cubs 8-3.
The game started out well as the Brewers went up 2-0 early. Christian Yelich drew a leadoff walk and Rowdy Tellez brought him in with a two-run home run. That would be it for the Brewers offense for a while.
Meanwhile, Jason Alexander started out well enough. In the first three innings, he allowed just two hits and a walk. However, he started to unravel in the fourth.
