Brewers deliver standout series with valuable sweep of the Rangers
This is the sweeping we like to see
Oh, we like that! The Milwaukee Brewers bounced back in a big way over the weekend, putting their sweep at the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers behind them by picking up a sweep of their own.
The Crew went into Texas and swept the first place Rangers thanks to a wide variety of contributors. Friday they held onto a 9-8 win after a 9th inning scare. Freddy Peralta’s 11 strikeouts helped lead to a 6-1 win on Saturday and five strong innings from Adrian Houser helped secure a 6-2 win in the finale.
Next up is a pair of games against the Minnesota Twins, followed by three games against the San Diego Padres. Once again my laziness means a short writeup. As Blink-182 said, “work sucks, I know.”
