Brewers Snap Skid with Patrick's Strong Outing

0:00On April 16, Milwaukee Brewers finally broke their six-game losing streak, the longest lump in three years, with a tight two-to-one win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday. Right-hander Chad Patrick was the anchor, tossing six and two-thirds innings, giving up just three hits, one earned run, two walks and two strikeouts, to keep things close. Early on, Patrick hit a bump in the first inning, walking a batter, allowing a single and watching a sacrifice fly put the Jays up, one nothing, that led to a quit-chat with manager Pam Murphy, but from there, he locked in and faced Toronto's lineup three times through. The team desperately needed this boost after dropping six straight, and Patrick's steady work set up the bullpen nicely. Brewers scratched across two runs in the eighth, to take the lead, and hold on for the victory, easing some serious pressure. This was Patrick's fourth start this season, and his longest outing yet, showing his stuff is coming together, without any fancy tricks. He's stuck to throwing strikes against that aggressive Jays lineup, aiming for weak contact and capitalizing on swings and misses.
