Brewers Lose to Royals, 3-1

0:00For the Milwaukee Brewers, it's March 1st and here's what's going on. The Milwaukee Brewers lost the tight cactus league game to the Royals 3-1 today. It was a chance to see key pitchers Chad Patrick in the starting role and Trevor McGill from the bullpen right away. The lineup faced Royal Starter Chris Buvick, a projected 2025 All-Star. This snapped the brewer's streak of scoring at least 5 runs in 5 stray games. Early on, Milwaukee grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first inning with a few singles. But the Royals tied it in the second on a double, wild pitch and ground out. Michael Walker shut down the Brewers after that, striking out several in a row. Pitchings stood out despite the three runs allowed. Patrick struck out a batter with a sharp cutter, but walked a couple. McGill impressed most, touching 97-98 mph on his fastball and picking off a runner. Others like Craig Gioho and Grant Anderson gave up the damage, including a solo homer. The offense went quiet after the start, managing just 8 hits total.

1:04No one got more than one hit, and the only extra base was a late double. Hard contact happened but turned into outs. The Brewers are off tomorrow before an exhibition.
