Taylor Jungmann
Taylor Jungmann pitched just three innings in his final start of the season. Jungmann allowed four hits, four walks and three runs as the Milwaukee Brewers fell to the San Diego Padres 3-1 at Petco Park.
Jungmann struggled in the final month, allowing 28 hits, eight home runs, 13 walks and 24 earned runs in 22 2/3 innings (9.52 ERA) over his last five games. He finishes the season with a 9-8 record and a 3.77 ERA in 21 starts since coming up from the minors in early June.
Shane Peterson’s leadoff pinch-hit home run gave the Brewers their only run. It is the Brewers’ fifth pinch-hit home run of the season. Jason Rogers and Khris Davis both have two.
Brewer hitters struck out 16 times in the game against Padres starter Ian Kennedy and three relievers.
Yangervis Solarte clubbed a two-run home run for the Padres in the win.
The Brewers return to Miller Park for the final series of the season, against the rival Chicago Cubs. Chicago sends Cy Young candidate Jake Arrieta (21-6, 1.82 ERA) to the mound. The Brewers will go with rookie right-hander Ariel Pena (2-0, 3.91).
