Houser pitches a gem but Brewers fall to Pirates 8-5 in extras
To plagiarize The Talking Heads, you may ask yourself how did we get here?
Adrian Houser was dealing quite a game in his start on Tuesday evening at American Family Field. A no-hitter through six and one-third innings, including a four-run lead heading into the seventh, seemed like it was going to be an easy win for the Brewers against the Pirates. A five-run top of the fifth inning for the Pirates proved to be a much more difficult outing for Milwaukee.
To make matters worse for The Crew, the game almost ended on what seemed to be an Eduardo Escobar walk-off home run that was robbed by Bucs’ Gregory Polanco in right field. Matchups with the Pirates have been a breeze this season. However, an absolute slog of a game, both in a result as well as game time (4 hours and six minutes) created some headaches for the team and the fans.
