Colorado RockiesvsMilwaukee Brewers
COL 5/MIL 8
Things to say
The Milwaukee Brewers beat the Colorado Rockies 8-5 at American Family Field.
01
opener
Brewers took care of business, 8-5. They jumped on the Rockies early and never really looked back. Milwaukee's just relentless at home right now.
02
key player
The heart of the Brewers order did all the damage. When they string together crooked innings like that, nobody in the NL Central can hang.
03
hot take
Honestly, at 65-39 the Brewers are the best team nobody's talking about. They should be scaring people come October.
04
deep cut
Rockies are down at 42-64 and it shows. Their pitching couldn't put the fire out once Milwaukee got into their stuff.
05
exit
Anyway, let's see if Milwaukee can finish the sweep tomorrow, they're rolling.
The recap
Milwaukee took care of business at home, riding a big bat to an 8-5 win over Colorado. The Brewers put up crooked numbers and never really let the Rockies hang around, even after Colorado clawed back to make it interesting.
The bullpen slammed the door late to keep it comfortable. At 65-39, Milwaukee just keeps piling up wins while the Rockies fall to 42-64 and head home with nothing to show for it.
