The Brewers finish the month of April on the road with 3 games at L.A. against the Spinners.
The Spinners are the favorite to win the MGL this season and one can see why as they have a talented and deep starting rotation and a potent and balanced lineup. If they have a weakness it is probably their bullpen, and sure enough they are 8th in the league so far in bullpen ERA. With their offense somewhat under-achieving thus far (4th in runs scored, 8th in batting average in spite of Travis Johnson leading the league at .452 and currently working on an 18-game hitting streak) they are off to a mediocre start.

In game 1 at Avalon Park, which does favor pitching over offense, the Brewers earned a 4-2 victory. Cheol-han Lee pitched 7 strong innings, allowing just 1 unearned run on 5 hits, and improves to 2-2 with a 2.43 ERA. The Brewers only managed 4 hits off L.A. starter Jesse Hartong, who worked the complete game, but they made the most of them. The big hit was Andrew Kennedy's (.295/.317/.410) 2-run HR in the 8th inning which gave the Brewers a bit more room to breathe in what had been a 2-1 game up to that point. It was Kennedy's first HR of the season. The Brewers also stole 3 bases in the game (McPhillips, Erbakan, Rondeau.)

After 2 poor starts to begin the season, Steve Green finally throws a gem as the Brewers get a 1-0 victory in the middle game of the series. Green pitched 8 innings of 2-hit ball, striking out 2 while walking 3. He improves to 2-1 with a 3.60 ERA. Jose de los Santos, who has struggled this season, pitched the 9th, allowing just 1 hit, to get his second save of the season. His ERA is now 9.00. Joe McPhillps (.304/.373/.457) continues his fine season going 2 for 4 in the game and scoring the lone Brewer run. He also continues to play fabulous defense in center field. Pat Rondeau (.370/.419/.444) has been wonderful in a part-time role once again, and drove in that lone run with his 2nd double of the season.

The Brewers were unable to get the series sweep in spite of a decent start by Erik Sloan- 7 IP, 3 R, 6 H, 7 K, 3 BB- as L.A.'s veteran captain Jose Santos was even better, allowing just 1 run on 9 hits in a complete game 3-1 victory. Sloan falls to 1-3 with a 3.54 ERA (Santos on the other hand is now 3-1 with an 0.82.) Chad Brown (.268/.278/.310), who has been slumping at the plate, went 2 for 4 and drove in the lone Brewer run. Ryan Rodgers (.340/.426/.489) also went 2 for 4 in the loss.
