June 23-25, 1972, at Portland

The Brewers head to the Pacific Northwest to take on the last place Portland Wild Things for 3 games.

Despite another terrific start by rookie Justin Peacock (after his disastrous first game of the season, Peacock has been very impressive since), the Brewers lose the first game of the series 1-0. Peacock allows the 1 run on just 4 hits over the course of 7 innings pitched, while striking out 9 and walking 2. He drops to 3-3 on the season but with an excellent 1.82 ERA.

Denver bounces back in game 2 with a narrow 3-1 victory. Ace Cheol-han Lee allows 2 runs on 5 hits in 7 innings pitched (6 K, 1 BB) but does not get the decision. (His ERA is now 1.76.) Miguel Solis gets the win to improve to 1-1 with a miniscule 0.42 ERA. Andrew Kennedy (.298/.333/.415), one of the only Brewers who has been hitting well during this offensive cold spell for the team, went 2 for 3 and hit 2 doubles in the game to give him a season total of 16.

Having only just joined the team after being traded from Charlotte, starter Erik Singer pitched a gem in his first game in Brewers' purple. Singer got a complete game victory in a 4-1 Brewers triumph, allowing just 5 hits while striking out 10 and walking 1. He improves to 9-3 with a 2.08 ERA on the season between the Sting and the Brewers. Chad Brown (.301/.326/.381) was one of the hitting heroes for the Brewers in this one as he collected 4 hits in 5 tries including 2 doubles which gives him 12 for the season. Rookie center fielder Joe McPhillips, who has been slumping for weeks, showed signs of getting back on track with a 2 for 4 performance and he hit his 8th double of the season.
