Milwaukee Brewers: During their 9-4 loss to the Houston Astros, one player broke an MLB record while another saw theirs end.
The Milwaukee Brewers were defeated by the Astros in two of their three games played there, including a 9-4 loss in the series finale. In addition, one Brewers player extended an MLB record streak during their most recent game, while another saw theirs expire.
Colin Rea, the starting pitcher, had a rough day on Sunday. Rea let up four runs in the bottom half of the inning after taking a one-run lead in the first. In the end, he gave up five earned runs in the same number of innings. He allowed eight hits and four walks while facing steady traffic on the bases.
Reliever Thyago Vieira let up a home run after Rea left, and Milwaukee was behind 6-1. The Brewers scored three runs in the seventh to cut the lead to three, but Kyle Tucker’s three-run home run off Mitch White gave the runs back right away.
William Contreras extended an MLB record on-base streak to 25 games on Saturday night after hitting an incredible home run off of Justin Verlander. Sadly, he went 0-5 with two strikeouts on Sunday and was unable to get to base safely. In 42 of the 46 games this season, Contreras has safely reached base.
