Texas RangersvsMilwaukee Brewers
TEX 1/MIL 6
Things to say
The Milwaukee Brewers beat the Texas Rangers 6-1 at American Family Field.
01
opener
Brewers handled Texas 6-1, never really in doubt. Milwaukee's starter got into his stuff early and just cruised. They're 84-51 now, running away with it.
02
key player
Whoever Milwaukee ran out there was dealing all night. One run, the WHIP was tiny, worked deep into the game. That's an ace start.
03
hot take
Texas is done. They're under .500 in late August, that's not a contender, that's a team playing out the string.
04
deep cut
Rangers put up one run all day. When your heart of the order goes quiet like that on a getaway day, you're not winning anything.
05
exit
Anyway, Brewers are locked in for October. Curious what they look like against real competition down the stretch.
The recap
Milwaukee kept rolling at home, taking care of Texas 6-1 to push that gaudy record to 84-51. The Brewers' arm got into his stuff early and never let the Rangers dig in, holding them to a lone run all night.
Texas just couldn't string anything together against Milwaukee's pitching, and by the middle innings this one felt decided. Another comfortable win for the class of the National League.
