Milwaukee Brewers
The June swoon has hit six consecutive losses for the Milwaukee Brewers as the Minnesota Twins completed a two game sweep with a 4-2 victory Wednesday afternoon at Target Field. That matches their season high losing streak and this game followed a familiar script. The Brewers got an early lead and were then shut down by stellar pitching. Brian Anderson and Luis Urias hit back to back homers in the second inning to put the Crew up 2-0. Starter Bailey Ober recovered and got through six innings and three relievers combined to face just one batter over the minimum from the third inning on. Christian Yelich had two more hits but Milwaukee managed just six for the game. Meanwhile. Colin Rea got touched for all four runs in the bottom of the third, all coming with two outs. Carlos Correa, who walked off Milwaukee with his ninth inning two run blast Tuesday night, came through again with a game tying two run triple. The Twins would bring home two more and that would be enough. The Brewers now find themselves at .500, 34-34, and could fall two games behind Pittsburgh in the NL Central race pending their Wednesday night game against the Chicago Cubs. After a day off Thursday, the Pirates come to American Family Field for a very large three game set.
