Portland and Phoenix continue to win as well and the Brewers remain 1 game behind Portland and 1/2 game ahead of Phoenix and still cling to 2nd place.
With 5 games left in the season, perhaps the biggest 2 games in Brewers history are next: a 2-game series at Brewers Field against 1st place Portland.
Nobody expected the Brewers to be hanging on to pennant hopes this late in the season. Probably not even Brewers management, players, and fans.
But here they are, nevertheless.
Following the 2-game series against Portland, the Brewers head to San Francisco to face the Velocity in the last 3 games of the season. It is very possible, perhaps even likely, that the season will come down to the final day of regular season play. At this point our Brewers could finish anywhere from 1st to 4th place.
But one thing is certain- they have made great strides this season. They have already surpassed their previous best season win total. And even if they don't manage to finish the season with an MGL title in hand, they should enter the 1969 season with great optimism and high hopes for the future.
