00:00 Seven earned runs for Shota Iminaga, his first loss of his MLB career.
00:05 He is now five and one and with an ERA that entered yesterday at 0.84,
00:11 it's now up to 1.86 as the Brewers plate 10.
00:14 Christian Yelich, three RBIs, Willie Adamas, three ribs,
00:18 as well as Milwaukee wins 10 to six.
00:21 Yeah, he's a great pitcher and certainly we expect him to bounce back.
00:25 But once you get more film and more book on a pitcher,
00:27 some of these hitters start to get a slight advantage over said pitchers.
00:31 But also look no further than the statistics of this game, Ben.
00:34 Take a look at this.
00:35 Six of 11 with runners in scoring position here for the Milwaukee Brewers,
00:39 which also included leaving on base only one runner.
00:42 That means making the most of your damage when they get 10 runs out of that.
00:46 Flip it over to the Chicago Cubs left on base nine runners in scoring position.
00:50 Oh, for eight.
00:51 Imagine that they went over eight with runners in scoring position,
00:54 still scored six runs with their ace on the mound and still lost that ball game
00:58 to the Milwaukee Brewers. Tough scene out there.
01:00 But again, you are going to lose games eventually.
01:02 And if that was your handicapping strategy, like Mark Zuniga, say, look,
01:05 you can't win them all. He was dead correct yesterday in that one.
