After winning the final two games in Charlotte, the Brewers travel north to Brooklyn to take on the 8th place Aces in a 4-game series.
Although all 4 games were low scoring and close, the Brewers swept the Aces and have now won 6 straight.
Game 1 featured a fine performance by lefty Daniel Torres, who worked 7 1/3rd, giving up 2 runs (neither earned) on 4 hits while striking out 6 and walking just 1. The Brewers got the majority of their offense from the top 3 hitters in the the lineup- Pat Rondeau, Tanner Yurek, and Ryan Rodgers- who each picked up 2 hits in the game. Yurek hit his 12th HR of the season while Jared Stephenson pitched in with HR #15 as the Brewers took a 4-2 win. With the victory, Torres improved to 8-4 with a 2.56 ERA. Eric Singer picked up save #11 and now has an ERA of 2.18.
Game 2 ended with the same final score and once again Tanner Yurek was a big part of the offense, going 3 for 3, hitting HR #13 and driving in all 4 of the Brewers runs. Adam Getchell worked 7 innings to get the victory and improve to 5-1 with a 1.48 ERA. Getchell gave up 2 runs on 6 hits while striking out 3 and walking none. Eric Singer picked up save #12.
It took 16 innings to resolve game 3, as the Brewers and Aces were tied 1-1 at the end of the regulation 9. The Brewers plated 2 in the top of the 13th but failed to hold that lead in the bottom of the frame and it took a 2-out Pat Rondeau (.307/.347/.396) RBI single in the 16th for the Brewers to finally prevail. They got a fine 3 inning performance from recently promoted Sam Pruiett, who gave up 3 hits but no runs while striking out 3 and walking none to get the victory- his first as a big league pitcher.
In game 4, even though starter Will Smart had to leave in the 3rd inning with back spasms, the Brewers got the shutout, 2-0. Smart, Jaden Francis, and David Brown combined to hold the Aces no runs on 6 hits, while collecting 7 strikeouts and walking just 2 batters. Bobby Erbakan led the offense from the lead-off slot, going 2 for 3 with 2 RBI, his 13th double of the season, and a walk.

With the sweep, the Brewers move into 2nd place, 4 games behind Phoenix and 2 games ahead of the San Francisco Velocity.
