Diamondbacks Couldn’t Deliver on Offense
The Arizona Diamondbacks had a number of shortcomings, but the lack of consistent offense was at the top of the list. Arizona comes into this game, hitting just .230 as a team to go along with 171 home runs.
Christian Walker is having a solid season for Arizona as he has belted 36 home runs to go along with 93 RBIs. There were moments when the Diamondbacks were swinging it well, but they just couldn’t be consistent enough.
Merrill Kelly comes into his final start of the season with a record of 13-8 and an ERA of 3.43 ERA. The Diamondbacks’ bullpen has struggled and that has pushed the team ERA to 4.27.
Starting Pitching Carrying Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers have consistently had a great starting rotation, and they will have their best pitcher on the mound in this game. Milwaukee has a team ERA of 3.83, and Corbin Burnes will close out the season on Wednesday.
Burnes isn’t going to win another Cy Young Award, but he has gone 12-8 with a 2.98 ERA. Milwaukee hasn’t always been a great offensive team, and that will need to be an area of need heading into the off-season.
Milwaukee got to Zac Gallen on Tuesday night, and it was Garrett Mitchell that delivered the big blow in that one. After the game, Mitchell said, “It was a great job by the offense today to get his pitch count up early.”
