 The Bengals had a good attempt. They broke out the brooms against Milwaukee, but the Brewers brought the bats belting. Three homers and 12 hits en route to a 9-3 bashing. Jake Irvin takes the loss. He's at 116 pitches on the season after tossing 121 at the Major League level all last year for manager Davey Martinez. I don't think that I'm going to retire because I was watching the VLO. But I do notice that his mechanics sometimes gets a little whack. He starts pulling everything. So we've got to keep an eye on that.
