Milwaukee BrewersvsLos Angeles Angels
MIL 0/LAA 3
Things to say
The Angels shut out the Brewers 3-0 at Angel Stadium.
01
opener
Angels took it 3-0, clean shutout. Their arms just kept Milwaukee off balance all night. Not the result anybody had circled.
02
key player
The Angels' starter was filthy, worked into the seventh and never let the Brewers get into his stuff. Blanking the heart of that order is no joke.
03
hot take
Best record in the league and they get shut out by a last-place club? Milwaukee's bats have been sleepwalking for a week.
04
deep cut
Brewers barely touched the ball hard all night, couldn't string two hits together. On a getaway day that offense just mailed it in.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if Milwaukee wakes up the bats next series. Long season, but that one stings.
The recap
Well, nobody saw this one coming. The Angels, buried in the standings at 43-69, just blanked the best team in baseball 3-0, and the Brewers couldn't scratch across a single run all night.
Whoever the Halos ran out there got into his stuff early and the bullpen slammed the door, keeping Milwaukee's heart of the order quiet on a getaway day. Three runs was all it took, and the 69-win juggernaut goes home shut out.
