The Milwaukee Brewers and Philadelphia Phillies are the two worst teams in the major leagues. Milwaukee made sure Philly stays below them in the basement after opening a four game series with a 7-4 victory at Citizens Bank Ballpark Monday night. Milwaukee pounded out 16 hits in the win after falling behind 4-1 after two innings. Jimmy Nelson was hit hard early but settled down to record his 5th victory of the season. The Brewers pushed in front against Sean O’Sullivan in the 6th, when the first six batters reached safely. Aramis Ramirez delivered a pinch hit, two run double to put Milwaukee on top. Johnathan Lucroy went four for five with two runs batted in, Adam Lind drove in a pair and Ryan Braun went three for five. Milwaukee (30-48) is now three games better off than Philadelphia. The Brewers will send Taylor Jungman to the mound in game two against Cole Hamels. Pre-game coverage begins at 5:30 PM on WTAQ.
