Chad Bettis started for the Rockies and Corbin Burnes took the mound for the Brew Crew to start the game. Both teams started many of the players that will be starting for them on a daily basis in 2019. The first six innings offered very little in the way of offense. Since both teams played so many regulars, this suggests that the pitching was quite good. Burnes threw three scoreless innings, giving up no runs on three hits, and he struck out four. Matt Albers pitched a scoreless fourth as he continues to pitch well this spring. Alex Claudio and Taylor Williams put up zeros in the fifth and sixth innings.The only threat in the first six innings came from Milwaukee. Christian Yelich doubled with two outsin the top of the third inning. Jesus Aguilar followed with a single moving Yelich to third. Bud Black took the ball from Bettis after the Aguilar single, switching to Jesus Tinoco. Tinoco induced a ground ball from Travis Shaw eliminating the Brewers’ threat. Tyler Saladino finally opened the scoring in the seventh inning. Saladino doubled to left field scoring Jake Hager who pitch ran for Orlando Arcia after the Brewers’ shortstop singled to right field. Jake Petricka took over in the bottom of the seventh and pitched another scoreless inning, striking out two of the hitters he faced. In the top of the eighth, the Brewers mounted another threat. Nate Orf singled and stole second base. Weston Wilson then walked http://www.stlouiscardinalsteamshop.com/authentic-marcell-ozuna-jersey , and both Orf and Weston advanced to the second and third on a wild pitch by Yancy Almonte. Tuffy Gosewisch was unable to cash in as he lined out to end the top half of the eighth.Jay Jackson took over in the bottom of the eighth. He pitched around two walks and a single to keep the shut out in place. The Brewers went three up and three down in the top half of the ninth, and handed Miguel Sanchez the save opportunity in the bottom of the ninth. He gave up a double and walked a batter to make things interesting, but he was able to induce a double play ground ball to end the game.With the Brewers’ win, they go to 4-7 in Cactus League play. Milwaukee takes on the Arizona Diamondbacks at American Family Fields of Phoenix tomorrow at 2:05 CST. Scheduled to start are Robbie Ray for the Diamondbacks and Jhoulys Chacin for the Brewers. CHICAGO — In the matter of just a few hours Monday, the Chicago Cubs went from being tied for the best record in the National League to finding themselves playing for their baseball lives on Tuesday.Despite that, however, they are just glad to still be alive.The Cubs will look to extend their season on Tuesday when they host the NL Wild Card Game against the Colorado Rockies at Wrigley Field. Chicago (95-68) missed on a chance to host the NLD when they lost to the Milwaukee Brewers 3-1 on Monday in the one-game tiebreaker for the Central Division title.Article continues below ...Instead, they will host the Rockies (91-72), who dropped a 5-2 decision to the Los Angeles Dodgers in Monday’s other divisional tiebreaker. With the loss Lou Brock Jersey , the Rockies will fly cross-country to face the Cubs for the right to play the Brewers, who will host the NLDS starting Thursday.The loser of Tuesday’s game will see their season end. The Cubs and Rockies split their six games this season, the last of which was played at the beginning of May. Each team scored 33 runs over the six games.“It’s the seventh game of the World Series right out of the chute,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said after his team managed just three hits Monday.Maddon added: “There’s no lamenting; there’s no crying. There’s none of that.”Ace Jon Lester will start for the Cubs. Lester (18-6, 3.32 ERA) has been on a roll of late and has won his past three starts and four of his five outings in September. Lester hasn’t allowed an earned run in two of his previous two starts but is 1-3 with a 2.25 ERA in five career starts against Colorado. Maddon said Monday that if needed, starter Cole Hamels could be available out of the bullpen if it meant allowing the Cubs to live to see another day.“We’ve got a lot of playoff experience in this locker room and I think that’s kind of what we have to pull on,” Hamels said Monday. “There’s a lot of teams that are at home right now and I think they would love that one more opportunity to play a meaningful game. That’s what we have to look at.”Like the Cubs, the Rockies struggled to find their offense in Monday’s loss. Colorado was no-hit for 5 2/3 innings and finished with just four hits before finally scoring a pair of runs in the ninth inning on back-to-back solo home runs by Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story.Now, the Rockies will face a do-or-die scenario.Kyle Freeland (17-7 Ken Boyer Jersey , 2.85) will start on three days’ rest for Colorado and has not lost since Aug. 1. Freeland is 5-0 in September and is 9-1 with a 2.41 ERA in 14 starts since the All-Star break. Freeland is 0-2 in a pair of career starts against the Cubs with a 4.15 ERA.“I’m looking forward to the battle in Chicago,” Freeland said, according to the Denver Post. “I’ve done everything I could to get my arm feeling good from my last start and it feels good right now. I’m ready to go and I’m not to worry about being on short rest.”Like the Cubs, the Rockies feel they have their best option on the mound.“He’s been our best guy. It seems like every time he’s out there, we’re winning, we have a chance to win, or we do win,” outfielder Charlie Blackmon told the Post.
