The Padres couldn't complete a sweep of the Brewers after Milwaukee put together one big inning without really hitting the ball that hard.
The odds of sweeping a 4-game series are not great to begin with. Doing it against a 1st place team shrinks the margins even more. The Padres lived that reality on Sunday afternoon in a 6-2 loss to the Brewers that will go down as one of the more annoying setbacks of the season.Michael King got off to a great start. He struck out the side in the 1st inning and looked like he'd be in for a dominant day.
Offensively, the Padres had trouble solving rookie Tobias Myers. The right-hander was cruising along until the 5th inning when San Diego mounted a 2-out rally. Ha-Seong Kim singled to centerfield and catcher Brett Sullivan, called up from Triple-A when Luis Campusano went on the Injured List with a thumb issue, dropped a brilliant bunt single down the 3rd base line to turn the lineup over and get to Luis Arraez.
