In Nashville, Adrian Houser only conceded 3 singles (1 bunt) and 2 walks over 5 innings, but 3 runs scored, largely due to effective small ball (stolen bases, advancing on ground outs). The thought is that this will be Houser's last rehab outing, but 40 strikes in 80 pitches may make the Brewers think twice. He'll need some days of rest anyway. Let's see if Colin Rea has an effective start for the Brewers on Sunday.
Oh, offensively we've been bad, doing basically nothing after Eddy Alvarez's leadoff double. Our next hit didn't come until the 7th inning (Abraham Toro, extending streak), giving us 1st and 3rd with 1 out, down 3-0. Tyler Naquin then grounded into his second double play.
Still down 3-0, now in the top of the 8th inning. LHP Thomas Pannone is doing his best to give the offense a legitimate chance to get back in it.
