The 34-year-old southpaw walked three and struck out three batters on the night. Most of the damage was done via the long ball, with Joey Ortiz socking a two-run dinger in the third and a solo shot in the fourth inning while Caleb Durbin belted a three-run shot in the fourth. Heaney also allowed the first two hitters to reach to open the fifth inning and one ultimately scored against the bullpen. He got five swings and misses on 85 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of only 24 percent. He’ll attempt to bounce back as he brings a 4.38 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and a 64/30 K/BB ratio (86 1/3 innings) into Monday’s matchup against the Cardinals.

The runs all came in the second, which started with a walk and two singles. The big hit afterwards was a weak fly to shallow center that a better center fielder than Oneil Cruz would have caught. That was followed by an awful decision from Nick Gonzales to try for an out at home rather than take an easy out at first on a grounder from Sal Frelick. Skenes gave up one more run afterwards on another single. It was a disappointing outcome for the anticipated matchup with Jacob Misiorowski, but Skenes threw just fine; he kept the Brewers hitless the other three innings and he wound up with a 33% CSW. The loss leaves him 4-7 with a 2.12 ERA ahead of a start against the Cardinals next week.

There were indications last night that Cruz might not play today after being pulled for forgetting how many outs there were last night, but while he did start, he was dropped in the lineup. He finished the day without a hard-hit ball, though he did reach on an Isaac Collins error on a fly to left. It could have been ruled a double, but not today.
