Monday's opener was as ugly as it gets — Brewers 16, Giants 2, with Milwaukee piling up season-highs in runs and hits (18) without leaving the yard. Brice Turang snapped an 0-for-21 by reaching all four times, Christian Yelich and David Hamilton both went 3-for-5, and Jackson Chourio drove in three. San Francisco has now dropped six of seven and is staring down 23-37 with a road trip that keeps getting heavier.

The injury board is a big reason the Giants look this thin. Both starting outfielders are out — Heliot Ramos (quad) and Harrison Bader (undisclosed) — and the bullpen is essentially a MASH unit, with Randy Rodriguez, Hayden Birdsong, Rowan Wick, Jose Butto and Jason Foley all on the 60-day. Tyler Mahle hit the 15-day with a hamstring strain last week too. There just isn't a lot of cavalry coming.
Pinnacle has Milwaukee at -207 with a 7.5 total, which feels honest. The Giants need McDonald to do something they didn't get on Monday — keep the early innings clean — and they need to actually make Harrison work a count. The Brewers have done that to him exactly zero times this year. Hard to see this one looking much different than 24 hours ago.
