Under normal circumstances, that might qualify as a minor annoyance. For the Brewers, it was cause to get Urías out of the game, since
Talk about tough timing. It should have been a big moment for the 23-year-old, who had been looking forward to playing against his former team since the Padres traded him to the Brewers just before Thanksgiving in 2019.\n\n\"I know Luis was looking forward to coming in and playing here,” said
