The Brewers head to Baltimore for the second time this season to take on the Lords. Coming into the series the Lords are sitting just a game behind the Brewers in 5th place.

And with a win in the first game of the four-game series the Lords catch the Brewers for a 4th place tie. Harry Lyerly takes the loss for the Brewers in a low-scoring game as the Lords win 3-1. Lyerly allowed the 3 runs on 6 hits in 7 innings pitched while striking out only 2 and walking 6. All things considered, given how much Harry struggled with his control in this game, things could have been much work and he gutted his way through some tough innings. But the Brewers offense went cold and he didn't get much help. Lyerly drops to 5-3 with a 3.24 ERA.

The Brewers bounce back with a narrow victory in game 2. Justin Peacock pitched another good game, working 7 innings, giving up just 1 run on 4 hits, in the 2-1 victory. Peacock improves to 3-2 with a 1.93 ERA. Jose de los Santos pitched 2 strong innings in relief to pick up his 9th save (2.56 ERA.) Jonathan Koch (.262/.304/.462) was the big hitting hero, going 2 for 3 and hitting his 2nd HR of the season.

The low-scoring continued in the two games of the Sunday double-header, but the results were very good for the Brewers as they won a pair of 2-0 games. In the first game they got a good outing from Daniel Torres. The veteran lefty lasted 7 shutout innings, scattering 5 hits while striking out 3 and walking only 2. Torres improves to 4-5 with a 3.99 ERA. Sam Pruiett and Miguel Solis combine for the last 2 innings to preserve the shutout. Big contributions at the plate from back-up catcher Spencer Wilson (.298/.347/.330). Wilson went 2 for 3 and hit his 3rd double of the season.

And Cheol-han Lee got his second shutout of the season as he went the distance in the night-cap, allowing just 2 hits while striking out 5 and walking 1. Lee improves to 9-2 with a 1.71 ERA. The Brewers committed 3 errors in the game (Lee, Oscar Vargas, Chad Brown) but also turned a couple of double-plays and worked around the errors successfully. They also got 3 doubles among their 7 hits- Jonathan Koch hit his 4th, Kevin Curtis his 12th (he also walked twice) and Andrew Kennedy his 14th.

With the 3-1 series win the Brewers move a couple of games above .500 again and back into sole possession of 4th place, now 3 games ahead of 5th place Baltimore.
