Brewers' Struggle at Coors Field: Can Milwaukee's Offense Rebound?
In a recent showdown at Coors Field, the Milwaukee Brewers faced off against the Colorado Rockies in a game that saw the Brewers fall short with a final score of 2-7. This outcome brings the Brewers' season record to 7-6, while the Rockies improve to 3-9. Despite their efforts, Milwaukee's offense struggled to make an impact against Colorado's pitchers.
Brewers' Offensive Efforts
The Brewers managed to gather just four hits throughout the game and were hindered by an error on their part. Their scoring attempts were limited, with only two runs crossing home plate during the fourth and eighth innings. The team left a total of eight runners on base, highlighting missed opportunities to bring more runs in. Notably, William Contreras and Christian Yelich each secured a hit in three at-bats, with Yelich adding some power by hitting a double and Contreras contributing significantly with his batting average climbing to .333.
Milwaukee's pitching staff faced challenges as well, particularly from the bullpen which saw its ERA soar after conceding six runs over three innings. Starter Charles Priester delivered five innings of work with an ERA of 1.8 for this game but didn't receive enough run support for a win.
Rockies Take Advantage
On the other side, the Rockies capitalized on their opportunities by amassing eleven hits and taking advantage of one Brewers error to score seven times. A significant inning for Colorado was the eighth when they broke open the game by scoring five runs, effectively sealing their victory over Milwaukee.
Despite these struggles from Milwaukee’s side, there were glimpses of resilience within their gameplay - evident in Garrett Mitchell reaching base successfully through walks despite not getting any hits and Oliver Dunn batting .250 for this match-up.
Looking ahead, fans can catch more action as The Brewers are scheduled to play away against Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field in Phoenix on April 11th at 9:40 PM EDT. This upcoming match will be broadcasted on FDSWI where supporters will be eager to see if Milwaukee can bounce back from this setback.
