Pitchers hitting home runs off of the Brewers can be extremely demoralizing. In tonight's game, Clayton Richard became the third pitcher this year to hit a home run off of a Brewers pitcher. Here are the other pitchers:
Date | Pitcher | Team | Inning | # of Runs | Hit Off Of |
08/28/2012 | Travis Wood | Cubs | 3rd | 1 | Yovani Gallardo |
09/30/2012 | Jordan Lyles | Astros | 5th | 1 | Mike Fiers |
10/01/2012 | Clayton Richard | Padres | 3rd | 1 | Shaun Marcum |
By comparison, Brewers pitchers have only hit two home runs this season: Zack Greinke's home run on July 24th against the Phillies, and Yovani Gallardo's home run on September 2nd against the Pirates.
