Rookie Joe Ross is experiencing his first taste of controversy after allowing nine runs in 8.1 innings over his last two starts. He also faced two very good west coast teams in their home parks.
Ross gets a home start Saturday against the Brewers.
Milwaukee averages a mediocre 3.7 runs per road start that is supported by a .251 average. Known for their power at home, the Brew Crew’s .375 road slugging percentage is tied for the fifth worst in baseball, and their OPS is sixth worst. Milwaukee is also the bottom dweller in team walks on the road and owns a bottom five ground-ball-to-strikeout ratio, as well as road double plays hit into. That’s great news for a rookie looking to get back on track.
