Box Score
What's happening right now with the Brewers is simply magical. This stretch of winning will be remembered like the 13-0 start in 1987, regardless of what happens the rest of the season. It would be nice to be able to teleport myself to Miller Park for every game, provided a housefly does not make the journey with me. I don't want to become Brundlefly.
In tonight's game it was Zack Grienke being almost brilliant in holding the Dodgers to one run over seven innings. I say "almost" because no start that includes a home run allowed to Tony Gwynn Jr can be considered a success.*
*Speaking of Tony Gwynn Jr, you are missing out if you do not read this article.
Meanwhile the offense did just enough to win the game. The Crew scored three runs or less for the 5th consecutive game. That we're celebrating a 6-0 homestand and not a 2-4 disaster is a testament to the awesomeness of the pitching staff. While I'm confident the solid pitching will continue, the offense is going to have to start scoring some more runs. If nothing else, it makes the games more fun to watch.
Looking ahead, tomorrow the Brewers will try to finish the sweep against the dominant Clayton Kershaw. Opposing him will be Marco Estrada, so advantage: Dodgers. Tomorrow would be a good time for the Brewers' bats to wake up.
