The much anticipated MLB debut of pitching prospect Coleman Crow resulted in a Milwaukee Brewers victory to extend the winning now to three games. An immediate course correction following a six game losing streak in the preceding games.
Coleman Crow, the Crewās 23rd ranked prospect, showed off his impressive arsenal of five pitches against the Marlins, highlighted by a curveball that averaged 3,022 RPMs and 18 inches of horizontal break with 66 inches of drop. All of that equals pure filth.
At the end of the day, Crow went 5.1 IP, scattering four hits, allowing two earned runs, with one walk and four strikeouts. He threw 77 pitches, so he remained fairly efficient and put the Brewers in an excellent spot to win.
DL Hall came on in reliever of Crow in the 6th and was charged with his first earned run of the season when he gave up a homer to Otto Lopez. He was the last remaining pitcher on the Brewers staff to have not given up a run this season.
Meanwhile, on the offensive end, the Brewers were Brewers-ing again. Garrett Mitchellās infield single with the bases loaded gave the Crew their first run of the game. Then Greg Jones followed with an RBI groundout. Jones promptly stole second base and Agustin Ramirezās throw went into the outfield, allowing a third run to score.
The Brewers added some insurance in the 6th inning when Luis Rengifo doubled home . Rengifo was in the midst of an 0-for-20 stretch coming into this game, but he had a huge night to break out of that going 2-for-4 with a run and RBI.
In his MLB debut, Coleman Crow pitched 5.1 innings, allowing four hits, two earned runs, one walk, and striking out four batters.
The Brewers extended their winning streak to three games following a previous six-game losing streak.

It was a 4-3 game in the 8th inning when Angel Zerpa came out of the Brewers bullpen and gave up an RBI double to Agustin Ramirez. That tied the game at 4 and gave the Marlins huge momentum. But Abner Uribe got the job done in the 9th to send the game to extras.
In extras, the Brewers took advantage of mistakes yet again. With the bases loaded, Luis Rengifo went first pitch swinging and hit a grounder to second. Xavier Edwardsā throw home was wide, allowing Brice Turang to score. Then it was Garrett Mitchellās turn and he ripped a double to the opposite field to bring home two more and make it a 7-4 Brewers lead.
Thatās what they handed to Trevor Megill, who was placed back in a save situation, and although he allowed the Manfred Man on 2nd to come around to score, he got the job done and secured a 7-5 Brewers victory.
