[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1772986, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/columns/jeff-gordon/tipsheet-slumping-brewers-throw-nl-central-door-open-for-cardinals/article_1381891b-f290-5c99-a3e8-fe5cc1fe4fc2.html#tracking-source=in-article[/URL] This week Milwaukee Brewers issued a standing invitation to the Cardinals to take the lead in the National League Central. The Brewers' losing streak reached five games when they fell 10-0 to the suddenly torrid Philadelphia Phillies Wednesday. That was the third shutout they suffered during that streak. Milwaukee has lost seven of its last eight games while dealing with the simultaneous loss of starting pitchers Brandon Woodruff (ankle sprain) and Freddy Peralta (shoulder strain). Also, reliever Luis Perdomo has been shelved by persistent elbow pain and closer Josh Hader actually blew a save against the Phillies as his 40-game scoreless streak came to an end. On the plus side, shortstop Willy Adames (ankle sprain) and outfielder Hunter Renfroe (hamstring strain) have returned to active duty. But second baseman Kolten Wong has been hobbled by calf soreness. And the Brew Crew continues to struggle offensively. “We're going through a tough stretch.” Brewers manager Craig Counsell told reporters. “We've got a lineup full of guys not feeling great at the plate right now, not swinging it well.
