Brewers Struggle After 14-Game Win Streak Amid Woodruff’s Mixed Starts

The Milwaukee Brewers faced challenges maintaining momentum after setting a franchise record with a 14-game winning streak, winning only four of their next ten games. Brandon Woodruff, the Brewers' right-hander, had a strong performance in a recent 7-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks, dominating the first five innings before allowing five runs in the sixth. Despite this rough patch in the sixth inning, Woodruff remained optimistic, emphasizing the positives and the importance of reaching a high pitch count as he continues to recover from a lengthy shoulder surgery layoff. Brewers manager Pat Murphy expressed confidence in Woodruff despite his recent struggles, highlighting his battle through tough innings and progress in pitch endurance. The Brewers' recent performance reflects the unpredictable nature of baseball, as they adjust following their historic winning streak and work to regain consistent success. The team's offense and pitching together managed to secure wins even when individual performances faced difficulties.
