The Brewers then travel to Detroit to take on the Falcons at East Lake Park (which plays pretty neutral but is a bit more favorable for right-handed hitters than left-handed hitters) in a 3-game series.

The Brewers score 3 runs in the 9th inning to stage a come-back win over the Falcons in game 1 with the final score 5-3. Steve Green pitched pretty well in the start, working 7 innings, giving up 2 runs on just 4 hits while striking out 8 and walking just 1. The big hit of the game was provided by Bobby Erbakan- his 2-out, 2-run double in the 9th gave the Brewers the lead they would not relinquish. It was Erbakan's 5th double of the season.

In the second game of the series the Brewers earned a 4-0 victory in spite of losing starter Harry Lyerly early in the game (he left with 2 outs in the 2nd inning with what was later revealed to be a blister on his pitching finger and should be available for his next start). Matt Helm came in to take over for Lyerly and hurled a fine 4 1/3rd innings for his first win of the season. Bobby Erbakan picked up his 4th stolen base (in 4 tries) in the game.

The Falcons got a great start from their ace Colby Muir in the final game of the series to avoid being swept as they defeated the Brewers 2-1. In spite of pitching well (7 1/3rd IP, 2 R, 7 H, 4 K, 4 BB), Daniel Torres took the loss to fall to 0-2 with a 3.32 ERA. The Brewers only managed 3 hits in the game, but 2 of them were off the bat of Chad Brown (.377/.393/.491) who is off to another good start and is currently 3rd in the MGL in batting average.
