Milwaukee batters did little damage as the Brewers lost a 3-1 game to the last-place Cincinnati Reds Tuesday night. The Brewers have won just one of their last four games. Jose Peraza’s two-run homer in the first inning won the game for the Reds. Peraza’s blast came off starter and loser Chase Anderson, who has given up a league-leading 30 home runs. Anderson spoke about struggling with inconsistency all season.
He does think he knows what his problem is howver.
Milwaukee’s edge over the St. Louis Cardinals in the Wild Card standings is down to two games. Lorenzo Cain left Tuesday’s game with chest soreness after the fourth inning. Manager Crsaig Counsell addressed the injury.
He may be held out of Wednesday’s home game against Cincinnati. Lefty Gio Gonzalez is the scheduled starter.
