Game Fifty: Brewers 6, Nationals 4

Box Score

Back in April the Nationals showed the Brewers what it is, and how it is done during a 3-game sweep. This time around the Brewers flipped the script and returned the favor.

Today's game looked like it was going to be an easy victory until Michael Morse continued his tyranny against the Brewers to the tune of a game-tying 3-run homer in the 4th. But Greinke put the Brewers ahead for good with his second career homer and did not have any issues the rest of the way. Greinke now has 39 Ks and only 3 BBs in 28 innings of work. As soon as he breaks the habit of allowing a big inning in each start he's poised to show an level of dominance not seen since CC Sabathia in 2008.

Coming up is a compelling series vs. the Giants. This will double as a showcase of excellent starting pitching and a litmus test for the Brewers. Naturally I will be on a camping trip this weekend so I will not see any of it; nor will I be around to blog about it.

To fill the void left in my absence, I suggest you  see 'Hobo With a Shotgun':
