Gordon's Debut Shines Before Late Collapse in Brewers' Loss to Phillies
The Milwaukee Brewers lost 6-4 to the Philadelphia Phillies on September 22, despite a strong debut from Colton Gordon. Zack Wheeler set a franchise record with seven consecutive opening strikeouts, including his 2,000th career strike, but the Phillies bullpen faltered. The Brewers tied the game in the sixth inning but fell apart in the eighth, allowing three runs. The loss did not cost them a first-round playoff bye, as the Atlanta Braves lost to the Cincinnati Reds.
