The Brewers then travel to the Motor City to take on the Falcons at East Lake Park.
East Lake is a slight pitcher's park that seats 44,400 fans, slightly above the league average.

Brewers pitching has been better of late, and that continued in game 1, but the offense has gone cold and that also continued. Fortunately for Steve Green, who pitched 8 strong innings, giving up 1 run on 5 hits while striking out 9 and walking 4, the Brewers managed just enough offense to win 2-1 in 11 innings. Green sees his ERA drop to 3.19 in the no-decision. Jose de los Santos gets the win in relief and now has a 3-5 record with a 2.43 ERA. Pat Rondeau (.301/.317/.366) went 2 for 4 and scored both of the Brewers runs, while also stealing 2 bases (7).

The Denver bats stayed silent again in game 2 as they lost 3-1. Matt Helm pitched pretty well for the Brewers in his 6 innings- giving up 3 runs on 6 hits- but was tagged with the loss, dropping him to 3-3 (2.91 ERA).

More of the same in game 3 but the Brewers got a great performance from starter Harry Lyerly and won 2-0 to take the series. Lyerly worked 8 scoreless innings, giving up just 2 hits while striking out 9 and walking 2. With the victory, Lyerly improves to 6-3 with a 2.97 ERA. Jose de los Santos pitched the 9th for his 10th save (2.38 ERA.)
