When Bruce Zimmermann was called to the big competitions on 20 September, he didn’t even think he would start tonight’s game against the San Diego Padres. For each Brewers, writer Adam McCalvy, Zimmermann was told by the Brewers organization that he would be one day and only one day. Then Brandon Woodruff was wounded. Robert Gasser threw on Sunday, Chad Patrick Throwed Saturday and Jose Quintana is on the IL. That also applies to Logan Henderson. DL Hall is that too, so he could not serve as more open. Even Triple-A boys such as Coleman Crow and Tate Kuehner are injured, so Milwaukee Tabbed Zimmermann (5.57 career era) for his seasonal debut-in fact has started his first Major League since 2022.
Zimmermann’s career-long statistics don’t look great, but this season he had a solid season in Triple-a Nashville (4.11 ERA). This year, Bewers -Fans have seen those in -depth boys such as Erick Fedde, Carlos Rodriguez and Easton McGee who have put together useful trips in the big competitions this year, so I was hopeful that we would get a little pitching lab magic (or do I dare say, Ueck Magie).
In reality, Zimmermann allowed a Grand Slam to Ryan O’Hearn with one out in the bottom of the first to put the Padres 4-0. Zimmermann managed to retire the following two batters to end the collection and eliminated the first batter that he encountered in the second (Freddy Fermin). The second, Mason McCoy, reached after Brice Turang made a good game on a grounder but threw the ball away. That would eventually cost the Bewers a point, while Luis Arraez hit a pop fly to the right field that was just deep enough and just kept fair enough for a two-run Homer. Suddenly it was 6-0 Padres with one out in the bottom of the second.
Zimmermann eventually settled in and put the Padres in the third, fourth and fifth innings without allowing a point. It is difficult not to respect him because he hangs there and fights after a disastrous first pair of innings. Giving up six runs at the end of the second inning is pretty bad, don’t get me wrong. It would have been catastrophic if the Brewers would have to stretch their bullpen seven-plus innings a day after * checks notes * Aaron Ashby, Nick Mears, Jared Koenig, Abner Uribe, Rob Zastryzny and Grant Anderson, and Grant Anderson, and Grant Anderson. Erick Fedde went four innings on Sunday. Manager Pat Murphy’s Some hope would have been seven innings from Tobias Myers with Jake Bauers in the Bullpen. Fortunately, Zimmerman succeeded in carrying out four more innings of Shutout baseball in a 91-Pitch effort, leaving the score from the territory of the football game and saving the bullpen. Respect.
Giving up a Grand Slam in the first inning is quite demoralizing, which may have contributed to the brewers who looked lifeless for a large part of the game. Padres Starter Randy Vasquez only threw out three brewers, but held them to one hit by seven strong innings. Blake Perkins and Joey Ortiz both received hits from Wandy Peralta in the eighth, but Jackson Chouio threwed – at three straight points that were all far under the zone – to beach Perkins in third place.
Jose Iglesias hit his third home run of the year of Myers in the bottom of the eighth to bring this match to his final score: 7-0, San Diego. Definitely a game to forget. The Bewers will come back to the win column tomorrow and go to the last series of the year to the Cincinnati Reds, which are just one competition for the Mets for the last NL Wild Card spot – with some momentum.
The first throw for tomorrow’s game is scheduled for 3:10 pm. Dylan stops will go for the Padres. Quinn priest starts the start for the Brewers. You know What happens When priest pitches. I’m not going Jinx.
