Monday night, the Brewers lost to the Reds 3-1, and Mat Latos threw a complete-game four-hitter. He struck out 13 batters, and the Brewers looked feeble against him. Tuesday night, the Brewers are looking feebler still.
Bronson Arroyo Working On No-Hitter vs. Brewers
Through seven innings, Bronson Arroyo has held the Milwaukee Brewers without a hit. Is this going to happen? With Bronson Arroyo?
Through seven innings against Bronson Arroyo, the Brewers have been held hitless. Only Ryan Braun has reached base, as he was hit by a pitch in the first inning. Arroyo has generated three strikeouts, and he’s thrown 82 pitches.
A three-run homer by Jay Bruce in the sixth provided Arroyo with all of his run support, as previous to that it was a scoreless game. The biggest threats to the hitlessness were a swinging bunt by Cesar Izturis in the top of the sixth, and a line drive to second by Braun in the seventh. The Brewers have not made a lot of quality contact, obviously.
Arroyo threw a complete-game two-hitter against the Nationals in August 2009. He’s now pursuing some history, armed with a pile of slop.
