Between series against the L.A. Spinners (road, then home) the Brewers had a short 2-game visit to Detroit to take on the 6th place Falcons.

The Brewers get a 7-5 win in the first game behind Justin Peacock, who pitches a nice 6 innings, allowing just 1 run on 3 hits. The bullpen scuffled a bit in the 7th inning (allowing 4 runs) but then Jordan Stephens came in and pitched an excellent 2 1/3rd innings for his 8th save (2.30 ERA.) With the win Peacock improves to 2-3 with a 4.40 ERA. Bobby Erbakan (.349/.404/.480) went 4 for 5 in the game, hitting his 18th double and driving in a pair of runs. Ryan Rodgers (.347/.450/.444) went 3 for 5, scoring 3 runs and driving in 2.

The second game saw Harry Lyerly strike out 8 batters but also giving up 4 runs on 8 hits (1 HR) and with very little run support the Brewers lose 4-1 and Lyerly drops to 12-6 with a 2.98 ERA. And there is really very little else to report for the Brewers in this one.

The Brewers head into a 2-game series against the L.A. Spinners again, this time in Denver, trailing L.A. by a game and Brooklyn by 2 1/2.
