The news on Tuesday night was devastating to the Milwaukee Brewers.
The Brewers were in the midst of a late season surge, winning their fifth game in a row after defeating the Miami Marlins 4-3. Yet, for all of the momentum that the Brewers seemed to be building towards a late season surge into the playoffs, it all felt lost just minutes after the game concluded.
Christian Yelich, the reigning league MVP and contender for this season’s award, is set to miss the remainder of the season after fracturing his knee cap on a foul ball during his first at-bat Tuesday night.
