Stat of the Night: Three Strikeout Games

Presswire

In tonight's loss to the Pirates, both Rickie Weeks and Travis Ishikawa had three strikeouts in the loss. It was the 34th and 35th times this season where a Brewer had a game where he struck out three times. At this point, that is tied for the 15th most in franchise history. The record for number of three strikeout games in a season is 55, set by the 2006 Brewers. Here is a list of the top 15:
