The Milwaukee Brewers tend to have the Cincinnati Reds' number, but they just lost two of three in a wild series at the Great American Ballpark.

The series finale saw the Reds prevail, 12-8, in a three-game slate that featured 45 combined runs.

The Brewers were outscored 24-21 in this series, which shows just how many issues they have on the pitching side of things.

Allowing eight runs a game is simply unacceptable, and it was a series that ended in another horrific outing from Kyle Harrison, though somehow he escaped taking the loss.

In the end, the Brewers allowed 12 runs on 14 hits and now have a very depleted bullpen for a crucial Chicago Cubs series that will decide who holds the tiebreaker in the National League Central.

Harrison has been abysmal lately, and his splits when pitching at American Family Field compared to pitching on the road are extremely eye-opening.

The 25-year-old lasted just 3.2 innings in this one, and he once again allowed a home run. Remember, he was coming off a five-homer game at Wrigley Field, and he's now allowed 10 homers in his last four starts.

Harrison gave up nine hits in this game, though it's worth noting only four of the six runs he allowed were unearned. David Hamilton had a pair of errors in this one, though one could argue he should've had three against him.

Regardless, it was Antonio Senzatela who fell to 10-5 on the year as he gave up three earned runs in 0.2 innings. 

A trio of Brewers pitchers allowed three or more earned runs, and manager Pat Murphy had no choice but to pitch Abner Uribe when down five runs just to make sure a position player didn't have to enter in the eighth inning.

The offense certainly had their moments, but they also once again didn't do enough to get the job done.

Milwaukee had plenty of chances to get back into this one, but the constant blows on the pitching side of things kept the Brewers from winning a game where they scored eight runs.

Catcher Bo Naylor made his team debut and had an RBI in his first hit with his new club.

Brice Turang impressed, going 2-for-3 with three RBIs and a pair of walks. The Brewers left nine runners stranded on the bases and were 4-for-12 with runners in scoring position.

In total, each team drew 10 walks, so command was an issue all around. Jake Bauers gave the Brewers their lone homer and drew three walks himself, but none of their offensive efforts were going to be enough to overcome this pitching staff.
