This Weekend's Results
Jimmy Nelson can't always be good. He allowed six runs in four innings, and the offense made a valiant comeback attempt, but it wasn't enough
Junior Guerra was off his game, but it didn't matter much. Behind a go-ahead home run from Domingo Santana, the Brewers rallied in the eighth and ninth to get the win.
It's hard to have confidence now that the Brewers will win on Wily Peralta day. Once again, Peralta had a bad start, allowing six runs in 4.1 innings. Though the Brewers offense was able to get on base, they only managed one run against Aaron Nola and the Phllies bullpen.
