The Brewers return home to Centennial Stadium and start a 3-series home stand with a scheduled 4-game series against the Detroit Falcons.

In game 1 the Brewers extend their winning streak to 6. It didn't look good early as Matt Helm gave up 3 runs in the top of the 1st inning, giving up 5 straight singles to start the game. But the Brewers answered with 6 runs in the bottom of the inning, Helm mostly settled in after that, and the Brewers won 9-5. Helm lasted into the 9th inning (8 1/3rd IP), allowing 5 runs on 11 hits but got the win to improve to 3-2 with a 2.91 ERA. Rookie Jonathan Koch (.278/.333/.472) had a nice game, going 2 for 4, hitting his first triple of the season and driving in 3 runs. Kevin Curtis (.204/.323/.336) hit his 2nd HR of the season and drove in 2 runs. And Antonio Puente (.212/.302/.379) hit his 5th HR of 1972.

The winning streak ended in the second game of the series, as the Falcons prevailed 7-3. Harry Lyerly lasted 7 innings and when he left the game it was tied 3-3 but stopper Jose de los Santos had a disastrous outing, giving up 4 runs on 5 hits in the 8th inning and he fell to 2-4 with a 2.93 ERA. As for Lyerly, he gave up his 3 runs on 6 hits but also struck out 10 batters while walking just 2, and deserved a better fate. His ERA rises to 3.01.

One bad inning for Cheol-han Lee doomed the Brewers in the third game of the series. Lee allowed 3 runs in the 4th inning and other than that was very strong. He lasted 8 2/3rds, giving up 7 hits, striking out 8 and walking 4. With the loss he drops to 7-2 with a 2.03 ERA. Rookie Paul Mackins (.275/.275/.348) had a fine game in the lead-off slot, going 3 for 3. (He had to leave the game early though due to a hamstring pull while running the bases and is day-to-day for 3 days.)

The Brewers did not have a chance to salvage a series split as bad weather postponed the final game until later in the season.

With the series loss the Brewers are now just 2 games over .500 but do remain in 4th place, just a game and a half ahead of their next opponents, the Baltimore Lords.
