Today was the last of 13 games in 13 days for the Brewers, so it's possible they're tired. They might also be sore, as they've been hit by ten pitches as a team in the last ten days. Two of those came today.
When Jordan Lyles hit Rickie Weeks with a 92 mph fastball in the fourth inning it was the fifth consecutive day where a Brewer has been hit at least once. It's only the eighth time in franchise history that's happened, and two games shy of the franchise record:
