Milwaukee, meanwhile, is 45-26 and playing the cleanest baseball in the NL. They've taken 4 of their last 5, the bullpen's been mowing, and even with Woodruff, Priester, Crow and Henderson all on the IL the rotation keeps producing usable starts. Drohan's last time out he went 5 with 7 punchouts and zero walks against the Phillies — the line (4 ER) was uglier than the stuff.
The shape of this game writes itself: Messick keeps it tight into the 6th, Cleveland needs to scratch 2 or 3 against a lefty starter who can spin it, and then it's on a depleted Guardians lineup to do something against a Brewers pen that's been one of the better units in baseball. Doable. Not easy.
Getaway day, 1:10 local, Guardians flying to Houston after. Cleveland would really, really like to not get swept here before walking into Daikin Park. This is the spot where Messick has to be the guy.
