Game One Hundred and Forty Five: Phillies 7, Brewers 2

Box Score

For a while there I thought the Brewers were going to win a pitchers dual. Chris Narveson kept the Phillies bats quiet for the first 5.2 inning. In fact, there were two outs and nobody on in the 6th inning, but then the wheels came off with a vengeance. When all was said and done the Brewers were down 6-1 and the game was effectively over. The one silver lining of that disaster of an inning was that it allowed me to focus my full attention on the Packer game, which was quite entertaining.

Back to the Brewers, I do not have a good feeling about their post-season chances. While they have been extremely hot since the all-star break, the bulk of their wins have come against teams with losing records. To put it another way, they are a mere 1-6 in their last 7 games against teams with winning records and four of those games have been at Miller Park. They still have a safe lead and will make the playoffs, but once there things could get dicey.
