MILWAUKEE — Zach Thompson paced around the pitcher’s mound in the bottom of the fourth inning Monday, looking like a mechanic unable to get an engine running or a plumber unable to stop a leak.
After seemingly finding an earlier groove, answers eluded Thompson. Brewers clogged the base paths. Worse, here came Christian Yelich, the 2018 National League MVP.
To render the final verdict on a start that featured both good and bad, it took Yelich one swing on an elevated changeup to make clear how Thompson would feel about this one — angry.
