MILWAUKEE – Jose Berrios slowly left the mound after the seventh inning on Wednesday and kicked the ground near the foul line when receiver Mitch Garver came in and put his arm around the right handed.

1-1 in the top of the innings, but Berrios dropped a pair of home runs in the bottom half. As expected, they ended up being punched.

"I needed him to know it, listen to the man, you're good." "We have you." You keep throwing as you launch, we're fine, Garver said. "Today is not the end of the world – a little encouragement, because it has started well."

Berrios is not the only one to despair because the Twins' season has collapsed, with moments like that of Wednesday – when they play well enough to barely lose – which happens too often.

This time, the Twins lost 3-2 to the Brewers, who scored all their races on solo circuits off Berrios. The Twins finished 1 to 8 on their road trip, losing their last six games. They also lost eight of their last nine and 11 of their last 13.

Travis Shaw led the second run by leading a 1-0 field on the second deck just for his 15th circuit of the season. Berrios made four scoreless shots and was rewarded in the seventh when Brian Dozier took the lead with a brace, advanced to third place and scored on Jorge Polanco's bloop left

right. Two batters later, Nate Orf got his first major league win, a home race left on a big 2-2 ball. And the Brewers led 3-1, leading to the discouraged Berrios march

"I felt bad," said Berrios, who equaled a high career by giving up three home runs. "As a pitcher, you never want to lose and we were lucky enough to win the match and they hit both circuits, but after that I tried to stay together and keep pushing." 19659002] Dozier fired a center from Corey Knebel in the center with one out of the ninth that was headed over the fence before a jumping Keon Broxton stole a circuit. Eduardo Escobar followed with a home race on the right to make 3-2. Then Polanco scored, but Max Kepler flew to end the game. The Twins are now 4-16 in one game.

"We're creating our own problems," said Twins manager Paul Molitor. "At the same time, we do not catch a lot of breaks."

Win or lose, the Twins headed home after a decisive moment in their season. They won a game in Chicago against the White Sox and the Cubs. They scored 25 points in three games against the Cubs but lost them all. Then they were 3-in-21 with runners in the scoring position while losing three games against the Brewers.

"It's the leadership, it's the professionalism, it's the veterans," Molitor said. "There are a lot of things we're going to need to support us here, it always seems a bit more disastrous when you're in the moment, you have to find a way to dig in.

" This game is about people that can bounce when you find yourself in a small hole. We will have to try to find a way to answer. It's just like that the game is going on. "
