The Milwaukee Brewers are grappling with significant injuries in their starting rotation, losing key pitchers like Brandon Woodruff and Aaron Civale, leaving their lineup in a precarious position. The team's recent acquisition of Quinn Priester from the Boston Red Sox, despite the hefty cost, reflects their faith in his potential to stabilize the rotation. However, Priester's struggles were evident in his latest outing against the Cubs, where he was rocked for seven runs in a single inning, contributing to a 10-0 loss.

Manager Pat Murphy acknowledged the team's morale is low, emphasizing the challenge of relying on inexperienced pitchers in critical situations. The Brewers have yet to win a game when their opponent scores first, raising concerns about their competitiveness. With another game approaching, they hope Jose Quintana can help turn their fortunes around. The road ahead looks tough as they aim to regroup and find their footing in the season.
