Dbacks Crushed 13-1 by Brewers

Michael Soroka, who entered with a 2.60 ERA, allowed eight earned runs in just four innings, seeing his ERA balloon to 4.70. His velocity decreased and his trademark slurve wasn't effective, as the Brewers built a 6-0 lead by the third inning. The D-backs' offense couldn't generate much against Milwaukee's pitching.

Ildemaro Vargas provided the lone bright spot with two hits, extending his hitting streak to 26 games. Arizona now travels to Wrigley Field to face the Cubs' potent offense, where another series loss could be imminent if the starting rotation doesn't improve quickly. palladian.co.za
