The Milwaukee Brewers lost 4-2 at the hands of the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night. Milwaukee’s starter, Brandon Woodruff only got through four innings before he was pulled. During his warm-up pitches in the fifth, the athletic trainers were called out. Craig Counsell made the decision to pull Woodruff from the game. He finished with four innings pitched and four strikeouts. He gave up two runs on two hits while walking one. Woodruff did not seem too concerned about the injury, as he told reporters after the game:

The St. Louis Cardinals “Celebrate” Woodruff’s Injury
If you were watching the game on TV, you may have heard the St. Louis Cardinals’ classless gesture as Woodruff was leaving. They played the song “Celebration” as he was taken out of the game.
