MIL 3/LAA 1

MLB.TVAngel Stadium
Things to say

The Brewers beat the Angels 3-1 at Angel Stadium to move to 69-41.

01
opener
Yeah, Brewers took it 3-1. Total pitchers' duel most of the night. Milwaukee's just relentless right now, they're 69-41 for a reason.
02
key player
Whoever Milwaukee ran out there was dealing. Got into his stuff early and the Angels never touched the heart of the order.
03
hot take
One run at home? The Angels are just not competitive right now. That 42-69 record is not lying to anybody.
04
deep cut
Only three runs total and the Brewers still win comfortable. That tells you their bullpen slammed the door, nobody left the yard.
05
exit
Anyway, Milwaukee's rolling. Curious if they keep it going in the next one.
The recap

Milwaukee went into Anaheim and grinded out a 3-1 win, the kind of low-scoring nightcap where every run felt like it mattered. The Brewers' arms did the heavy lifting, keeping the Angels bats quiet and stranding whatever traffic LAA managed to scratch together.

Los Angeles could only muster a single run, and at 42-69 that's been the story of their season. Milwaukee, meanwhile, keeps humming along at 69-41 and looks every bit the team that's running away with it.
