Brewers Lose Close Game to Rays

On March 31st, the Milwaukee Brewers dropped a close 3-2 decision to the Tampa Bay

Rays last night. It kicked off rough when Yandy D.S. smashed a lead-off homer off

Kyle Harrison in the first, but Harrison bounced back strong, striking out

eight over. Five innings, while allowing just that one run on four hits. Brewers

fought back in the sixth as Bryce Tarrang doubled to start, then William

Contreras crushed his first homer of the season to center. Ah, 415 foot blast at

107 miles per hour, putting Milwaukee ahead for the first time. Manager Pat

Murphy praised Harrison's response after those early innings, calling it a

solid debut with the team, though he pointed to a couple killer. Moments like a

two-hour walk and a line-out that cost him runs late. In the eighth, Tarrang

walked and stole second, but Contreras hit it right at the fielder with

runners-on, and they couldn't cash in. Then Aaron Ashby, in his third outing

already, had given up a tying homer earlier to Johnny DeLuca. Trevor McGill

took the ninth on back-to-back days, got two quickouts but walked DeLuca, and

Nick Fortes doubled him home on a high fastball for the go-ahead run. Brewers

went down quietly in the bottom half, but Brandon Woodruff takes the mount

tomorrow for his season debut, looking to flip the script. Milwaukee Brewers
