Maybe the Rays are returning to reality a little as they went 4-6 on their road trip. That was a tough trip with series against the Yankees, Orioles, and Mets that produced a lot of close games. 
 

On paper this looks like a tough one for the Brewers to win as they face a very tough lefty while sending Houser against the Rays’ imposing offense. 
 

3-3 in these next two series against the Rays and Astros would have to be considered a great success with the Brewers depleted starting rotation.

Yelich is back in the lineup hitting 3rd, and the Brewers get a little break as the blistering hot Yandy Diaz remains out for the Rays.

This could get ugly tonight. Thank goodness for basketball tonight in the likely event that it does.

[SomewhereInTime]

Oh good the lefty platoon lineup again that can't hit lefties at all.  Have to make sure rowdy sits so someone can go 0-4 in his place

Geezzzz. 

[BruisedCrew]

That promising inning fizzled in a hurry. 

[Brewcrew82]

Well, you gotta be aggressive when you're struggling to score runs.

[Brewcrew82]

Brosseau can go right to the minors when Urias comes back. A LHP specialist who cant hit LHP anymore. I wouldn't care if they just DFA'd him either. 

[Brewcrew82]

Nice job by Houser and D there. 

[HarryDoyle]

Wow. Tampa must've been watching tape of the Brewers squandering scoring opportunities.

[BruisedCrew]

Heads up,play by Adames faking the throw and catching the runner on third off base. 

[Jake McKibbin]

This is far and away the best the brewers have looked first time through against a lefty all season, some quality contact all round. And against a cy young candidate... Strange

[BruisedCrew]

I hope Yelich didn’t aggravate something on that swing. He had an uncomfortable look on his face as he jogged off the field. 

[HarryDoyle]

Good job by Anderson keeping the tag on. You don't see that enough.

[Brewcrew82]

Nice throw by TT and tag by BA. 

[Brewcrew82]

TT just can't catch a break right now. 

[duewizard]

Houser having a nice game

[SomewhereInTime]

This lineup is significantly worse than the last two years at many positions, tough problem to fix when you need five more bats in the lineup.

[markedman5]

17 scoreless innings in a row and counting…….

[mtsportsfan]

Another quality ab by Adames ! 

[HarryDoyle]

I miss the first 20 games offense.

[Jopal78]

One out double, four pitches later the sides is retired. They could at least try to make McLanahan work a little.
