Yesterday's Results
Facing off against the White Sox ace, the Brewers put up more of a fight than would have normally been expected. They got on the board early with a triple and RBI groundout, and that lead held until the fifth inning, when the White Sox put up two runs to take a 2-1 lead. The Brewers took the lead back in the bottom of the fifth, and the game held as a tie until the eighth inning. Against the Brewers bullpen, the White Sox scored a run off of Michael Blazek and a run off of Neal Cotts to take a 4-2 lead and win the game.
