McClanahan's Rays Fall to Brewers in Comeback Showdown

0:00On April 1st, Shane McClanahan finally stepped back on the mound for the raise after more than a year away, his last star coming, August 2nd, 20. 23. Injuries kept piling up on the former All-Star, but tonight against the brewers, he showed flashes of his old fire. Both team-speecher pitches returning from long layoffs. McClanahan for Tampa Bay and Brandon Woodruff for Milwaukee in a match-up loaded with comeback. Stories. The raise jumped ahead quick with a solo homer from Jonathan Aranda in the first, then Nick Fortes added another in the fifth to make it to nothing. McClanahan cruised early, retiring the brewers in order twice and keeping things tight through four innings. Fans held their breath watching McClanahan work, especially after the brewers shuffled their line-up with Gary Sanchez at first base to protect their rotation. He looked sharp, striking out four and showing command, but the raise often stranded too many runners, leaving just those two runs. Trouble hit in the fifth, when McClanahan issued walks, and the brewers loaded the bases on a review call that kept the inning alive.

1:06They scored three to take the lead, ending his night at four and two-thirds innings, with three runs allowed. Milwaukee kept pouring it on with homers from Sanchez and Jake Bowers, pulling away late. The brewers closed it out six to two, handing McClanahan a tough luck loss in his return, but proving he still got the stuff to build on as the raise. Tweet their pen moving forward.
