And then a spectacular start by Jim Atwell and some timely hitting gets the Brewers back to even in the series.
Atwell went the distance, giving up just 1 run (in the 1st inning) on 3 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 4.
Brett Taranto hit a 1st inning solo homer to get things started for the Brewers.
Zacarias Martell, having a good series so far, hit a pair of doubles (to give him 3 in the KCS) and scored a run. And
Atwell himself went 2 for 2 with a run scored and another driven in. Other Brewers with 2 hits in this one:
Joe McPhillips,
Jake DiCesare, and
Rich White.
The score might have been even higher for the Brewers if it weren't for some terrific defensive play by the Dawgs outfield, particularly the other worldly Curtis Horah, who not only made an amazing catch but also threw out
Zacarias Martell trying to score in the 2nd inning.
