ESPN news: yeah i,m diasappointed more reason why i want to leave the club-Brewers star.

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.

Milwaukee Brewers lose to the Houston Astros 9-4.

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.

MLB’s best on-base streak was lost by William Contreras.

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.

Brice Turang has successfully stolen 35 bases in a row without being detected.

Brice Turang continues a streak that began in July 2023 when he successfully swiped his 35th base without being caught on Sunday. His 18th stolen base of the year was special because he had to have his helmet replaced after taking a diving throw at third base that struck him in the forehead.

Marlins, coming off a solid week, get ready to take on the Brewers.

Monday night’s opening three-game series between the Milwaukee Brewers and Miami Marlins pits one of the top clubs in the National League against the worst.

Despite the fact that both clubs are coming off defeats, the cellar-dwelling Marlins are currently enjoying some short-term momentum after defeating the visiting New York Mets two out of three. In its last seven games, Miami has won five of them.

Before calming down to finish four innings on Sunday, starting pitcher Sixto Sanchez gave up four runs in the first inning, ruining the Marlins’ prospects of sweeping the series against New York.

The early deficit did not sit well with Miami manager Skip Schumaker, especially after his club came back from a four-run hole in the ninth inning to win in ten innings on Saturday.

“That is not appropriate. Sanchez needs to improve in the first inning if he hopes to start at this level, according to Schumaker. Recovering from a four-run deficit is never easy. He’s denying his teammates the opportunity to prevail.

“Four innings out of our starter at this stage in the season, it just crushes the bullpen, too.”

One day after five relievers had to cover five and a half innings, three of the four Marlins relievers who worked on Sunday went longer than one inning.

On Sunday, the NL Central-leading Brewers also lost ground after Colin Rea, the starter, gave up four runs in the first inning. Milwaukee had already scored one run in the inning’s top half.

Manager of the Brewers Pat Murphy had a little more optimism on Rea’s ability to pitch 4 1/3 innings in the 9-4 victory over the Houston Astros.

“Colin battled and gave us a lot of innings even though it wasn’t his greatest game. Murphy stated, “The (4 1/3) that he gave us were crucial.” “We didn’t do a great job after that.”

Milwaukee covered 3 2/3 innings on Sunday with just two relievers.

Joe Ross, a right-hander, will take the mound on Monday for the Brewers, who are now 9-8 and barely over.500 for the month of May.

With a 4.61 ERA, Ross (2-4) has pitched at least five innings in five consecutive starts. He missed part of the 2020 COVID-19 season and the next two seasons after having Tommy John surgery.

He is coming off a five-inning victory over the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates last Tuesday, in which he gave up two runs on two hits, a walk, and six strikeouts.

When asked how his season was going following the extended rest, Ross responded that he felt good.

“The ball’s coming out pretty well, and that’s pretty much all I can ask for,” he stated. “Depending on the game, the outcomes may be better or worse, but overall, I’m feeling okay. Very pleased with that.”

Ross has made nine career appearances (five starts) versus the Marlins, going 2-2 in 32 innings with a 2.53 ERA.

Ryan Weathers (2-4, 3.81), a left-hander, will open for Miami. He only lasted six innings in three of his first eight starts of the season, but last Tuesday in Detroit, he improved to pitch eight scoreless innings. After giving up three hits, he was given a no-decision as the Marlins defeated him 1-0 in ten innings.

In his lone career encounter with the Brewers, Weathers pitched four scoreless innings with five strikeouts and was awarded a no-decision.
