For about a month or so, the Milwaukee Brewers were just treading water, trying to stay alive and stay afloat in the NL Central race. They did that, and currently sit one game back in the division after Saturday night’s victory over the Nationals.
That game, in which 10 Brewers pitchers were used and nearly every position player came in, was one of the wildest and craziest games this entire season in MLB. Thanks to Eric Thames, who hit the Crew’s 7th home run of the night, the Brewers came out on top.
Losing a game like that can be demoralizing for a clubhouse.
