The Brewers don’t need a classic today to make it special, though. Just a win will bring in the Mother’s Day

  Jim Rassol-USA TODAY Sports The Brewers have used 10 starting pitchers so far this season. How much of an outlier is that? It’s been a rough season for the Brewers starting rotation. Through 49 games, the Brewers have already used 10 different starting pitchers. So far, the Brewers have lost Wade Miley for the season. They have also placed Jakob Junis, DL Hall, and Joe Ross on the IL with injuries. That also doesn’t include Brandon Woodruff, who is rehabbing this season from shoulder

  When Joe Ross’s injury limited him to one inning in yesterday’s game, the Brewers needed to use, essentially, their entire bullpen. Extra innings did not help. That they ended up losing made it even worse. Today, the Brewers were hoping for an efficient outing from starter Robert Gasser. Or a blowout. Or both. They got one of those things, but they’d need to ride out a stressful one again, with clutch h
