The euphoria of tying Tuesday night’s game at Oakland on an Eric Thames home run didn’t last for long. A’s first baseman Matt Olson gave his team a 3-2 walk-off win by touching Josh Hader for a homer. Thames’ blast ended an oh-for-17 hitless streak and Orlando Arcia had his first three-hit game since early May. The loss drops Milwaukee two games behind division-leading St. Louis after the Cardinals edged the Cubs 2-1. The newest Brewer starting pitcher, Jordan Lyles, takes the mound in Oakland tonight with a first pitch scheduled for 9:07 PM. Pregame coverage will begin at 8:30 on 1240 AM WOMT.
