Brewers skunked by the Cubs at Miller Park

April 26, 2010 By Bill Scott

Nobody expected the Milwaukee Brewers to roll over the Chicago Cubs like they did the Pirates in a 3-game series last week.  But coming off a 3-game sweep of Pittsburgh and outscoring the Pirates 36-1, the Brewers were on a roll. 

Unfortunately, the Brewers starting pitching continued to struggle and they ran into some pretty good pitching by Cubs and were swept in a 3-game series at Wrigley Field.  Chicago outscored the Brewers in the series 25-4 and finished it off with a 12-2 win at Miller Park yesterday.

Nothing went right for Brewers starter Dave Bush who pitched just 3 2/3 innings, allowing 9 runs on 10 hits, including all four of the Cubs home runs.

Kosuke Fukudome, Tyler Colvin, Geovany Soto and Derek Lee all homered for the Cubs, and Ryan Theriot had 5 hits to complete the 3-game sweep.  The Cubs have taken 5 of 6 from the Brewers so far this season.

Randy Wells worked 7 innings and allowed 2 runs to pick up the win for the Cubs.  He’s 2-0.  Bush fell to 1-1 with the loss.

Brewers manager Ken Macha said 18 games in, the Brewers aren’t getting the pitching they hoped for and hopefully it’ll turn around.

AUDIO: Ken Macha is hoping the pitching improves :15

The Brewers open a 3-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates tonight.
