The Milwaukee Brewers put the final touches on a dreary night in the City of Brotherly Love. Aramis Ramirez's RBI single in the eighth inning tied the game. Brewers slugger Adam Lind then delivered the game-winning RBI on a bases-loaded walk off Philadelphia Phillies reliver Ken Giles, giving the Brewers a 4-3 victory.
A one-hour-and-19-minute rain delay would take place before the Brewers and Phillies faced off in South Philly. Milwaukee sent 25- year-old rookie Taylor Jungmann to the hill on Tuesday night. Jungmann (2-1) went six innings, allowing two runs off five hits while registering four strike outs. His lone mistake came in the sixth inning against Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz. Ruiz hit his first home run of the year in the bottom of the sixth to give the Phillies a 3-2 lead.
Phillies ace Cole Hamels (5-6), always a subject of trade rumors these days, took the bump and stymied the Brewers' offense for most of the night. After surrendering two first-inning runs, Hamels would cruise for the next five innings, throwing zeroes on the board for the Phils. Hamels would exit after six innings of work, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out seven Brewers in the process.
Milwaukee and Philadelphia both lacked offensive production. The two teams went a combined 3 for 24 with runners in scoring position and left 20 total runners on base.
Brewers third baseman Ramirez finished the night 2 for 4 with three RBI, one being the game-tying RBI in the eighth.
The Brewers look to complete the sweep of the Phillies Wednesday night. Milwaukee will send Kyle Lohse (4-9) to the hill to square off against Phillies starter Aaron Harang (4-10). The first pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. EST at Citizens Bank Park. The game can be seen on CSN Philly and Fox Sports Wisconsin.
