Michael McLoone-USA TODAY Sports

Season-long weaknesses immediately bit the Brewers, who now face swift elimination in the NL Wild Card Series

Game 1 of the National League Wild Card Series was, in most respects, the unfolding of a worst-case scenario for the Brewers.

In a game started by Corbin Burnes and featuring appearances by most of Milwaukee’s high-leverage relievers out of the bullpen, the Brewers fell to the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-3. The loss left Craig Counsell with little...

Postgame Wrap-Up From Game 1 of Wild Card Series

Michael McLoone-USA TODAY Sports

After the Brewers’ Game 1 loss to the Diamondbacks, there was plenty to discuss and look at from the game. Let’s look through it all here.

What looked like a good start by the Brewers fell apart quickly.

Box Score

The Brewers came into the 2023 Postseason and started off with a blast of energy. However, that quickly fizzled in a game where the Brewers were their own worst enemy. They gave up a 3-0 lead and fizzled on several scoring opportunities, while the Diamondbacks got to Corbin Burnes and Devin Williams as they took game one of the Wild Card Series.

Burnes started out well, having...
