Why Brewers fans are no strangers to insane 15-14 score

Clearly, the Milwaukee Brewers have the league’s hardest-throwing pitcher, and they’re enjoying a good-enough season to consider a big trade. Last night’s game added more fun, and here’s why Brewers’ fans are no strangers to the insane 15-14 score against the Athletics.

Yes, they’ve seen it before, according to MLB.com.

“At four hours and 14 minutes, it became the longest game in MLB this season,” Adam McCalvy wrote. “The only other 15-14 game in MLB over the last 25 years was also a Brewers road win, on Aug. 17, 2019, against the Nationals.”

That’s a really strange-but-true baseball story.

“The most bizarre game I’ve ever had in Major League Baseball in 11 years,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said. “I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Brewers enjoying a great season

Included in the team’s 41-23 start, the second-best record in baseball, has been the emergence of Jake Bauers. He tied his career high with his 12th homer of the season, coming Monday night in the wild game.

He said the game was definitely unique.

“That was pretty nuts to be a part of,” said Jake Bauers, who began the game in right field and homered along with Vaughn, Contreras, and Brice Turang. “I’ve never seen anything like that in Major League Baseball, but the guys up here that work in the clubhouse were telling me that they have games like that on a nightly basis in this yard.”

It was certainly a forgettable night for one of the Brewers’ best pitchers. Kayle Harrison gave up eight runs in just 2.1 innings. But he said pitching in that type of stadium wasn’t completely foreign.

“Playing at ballparks like this in the whole [Pacific Coast League], I’ve got a lot of experience at this,” said Harrison, who pitched in this venue a handful of times while he was in the Giants’ system. “Knowing how these games usually go, I haven’t seen anything like this. Credit to this team. Credit to the guys.”
