Can Kolek’s Pitching Mastery Silence the Brewers’ Fearsome Offense?
The Brewers have had a very intersting season. About a month ago, you probably would’ve thought that they would be an afterthought for the division and the Wild Card. Lately, they have been one of the best teams in baseball. Recently they ran off a stretch of eight straight wins. That obviously will make anyone’s record look better, but it was much needed for a team that was three games under .500 before that winning streak. They have won nine of their past 11 games overall, and look to get back on track here after losing yesterday. In order to do that, they turn to journeyman Jose Quintana. Despite continuing to have his prime wind down, he has been very good for the club with a 4-1 record, 2.77 ERA, and a 1.28 WHIP. He has been a bit rough at home, but it looks worse because he has only made two starts at home, totaling 10.2 innings and allowing four homers. Quintana has more experience against his opponent than Kolek does, but still has pretty good success holding the Padres to just a .250 batting average.ÂÂ
