Cleveland swept by Brewers with 11-1 loss

The rough weekend for the Cleveland Baseball Club continued with the 11-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers Sunday.

Good thing that the eyes in Cleveland were focused on the Browns playing on Sunday and not on the baseball team because it was ugly down on the corner of Carnegie and Ontario. The Cleveland Baseball Club only managed four hits and one run in their 11-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. This lopsided loss comes just one day after being no-hit for a record third time this season, four times if the seven-inning game is included.

Myles Straw, Franmil Reyes, Ryan Lavarnway, and Oscar Mercado were the only Cleveland batters collecting hits Sunday. Straw’s single in the 6th drove in the only run in the losing effort. This was the third of the inning and in fact was the first inning that a hit was registered after being hitless through 5.1 innings.

Pitching wise it was not a great outing for Aaron Civale. Making his second start since returning from the injured list, Civale was hit hard early and often. Civale would allow seven runs on seven hits and two walks in just 3 innings. Three of the seven hits allowed by Civale were home runs coming off the bats of Kolten Wong, Avisail Garcia, and Manny Pina.

Cleveland is now 69-72 on the year and is firmly in second place in the AL Central. It will be an off day Monday as they will travel to Minnesota to take on the Twins for a three game series beginning Tuesday afternoon
