Closer's woes continue as Brewers score four runs in the ninth
Taylor Rogers can’t finish games — or at least can’t get three outs without disaster befalling theThe left-hander, who was leading the major leagues in saves less than a week ago, on Thursday night gave up the entirety of a three-run lead in the ninth inning and took the loss as the Brewers came back for a 5-4 victory.
Nabil Crismatt was called on, and Andrew McCutchen broke a 0-for-32 stretch with a single up the middle to win it for the Brewers. The Padres were 19-4 when scoring at least four runs. They were 4-0 in games in which they scored exactly four runs. A 6-3 loss to the Cardinals on Monday was the first time in six games they lost when scoring three runs.
McCutchen grounded a ball to shortstop Sergio Alcantara that drove in Wong. The swift McCutchen beat out a double play attempt, but Luis Urías hit into one to end the inning. Coinciding with Rogers’ struggles has been a turnaround in what was at one point a perilous proposition for the Padres — the bridge from starting pitcher to closer. As they have more often than not lately, Robert Suarez and Luis Garcia did their jobs Thursday. Suarez pitched a scoreless seventh and Garcia a scoreless eighth.
