Breakdown / Highlights
Milwaukee kicked off their week by heading to the Lone Star State to take on the Rangers. Jose Quintana took the mound for game one across from Texas starter Jacob Latz, who proceeded to outduel the Brewers’ veteran lefty. In fact, the Brewers offense was unable to scrape anything across the Rangers staff in general, while a four-run fourth inning off of Quintana gave the AL Wild Card hopefuls all they needed to take the series opener. Chad Patrick was asked to be the stopper in game two, but once again, Texas found a way to keep their train rolling. That came despite Milwaukee chasing Jack Leiter in the fifth inning and a late home run from Jake Bauers, resulting in a Brewers loss, 5-4.

For the first time since opening weekend, the Brewers were swept in a series on Wednesday. Brice Turang and Jackson Chourio went back-to-back off Merrill Kelly to start the game, but Rangers first baseman Jake Burger taxed Freddy Peralta with two homers of his own, so despite out-hitting the Rangers 11 to 6, Milwaukee fell 6-3.

A more familiar foe (the desperate and fading Cardinals) came to town for a three-game set to finish the week, and they were welcomed rudely by a Brewers team looking to bounce back. Naturally, stopper Quinn Priester toed the slab to record another win in that one; the final was 8-2. 

Heading into the game on Saturday, the Brewers received the news that they’d clinched a playoff spot. With that in mind, a thriller took place in front of a national audience, as Milwaukee was determined to celebrate with a win. Early on, though, Sonny Gray and the Cardinals had the Brewers’ number. They jumped out to an early 6-1 lead, but as they’ve done all season, Murph’s Marauders started pecking away. Eventually, the comeback was completed in the 9th, as the Brewers scored three to tie the game. Despite the team giving up another run in the 10th, Andruw Monasterio was the hero, driving in Caleb Durbin to win the game after Durbin himself had tied it.

On Sunday, the Cards once again jumped out to an early lead. Quintana would settle in, though, and once again, Milwaukee began to pick away at a lead. Solo homers from Durbin and Danny Jansen got Milwaukee within one. This time, the Cardinals’ bullpen held, though, and the Brewers lost 3-2.
