The team really let the kid down today. Well, two of the kids really.
First, Harry Lyerly was pitching a masterpiece. But the Brewers gave him zero run support. And then, when he left in the 8th inning, having allowed no runs on 6 hits, while striking out 9 and walking just 2, the bullpen allowed both the runners he left on the bases (2 singles) to score.
The other kid is 22-year old firstbaseman Bobby Erbakan, who at least did his part to try to help the team offense by going 4 for 4 including hitting double number 30 and triple number 7 on the season.
With the loss and a Phoenix win the lead falls to 5 games again.
The kids deserved better.
