In the end the Portland offensive firepower proved too much for the Brewers. We drop both games of the series as Portland's superstar firstbaseman Frank Hernandez, a former league MVP, leads his team to easy victories, going 5 for 8 in the two games, scoring 4 runs, driving in 8, and hitting 3 HR's.
The Brewers enter the last series of the season, against San Francisco, not mathematically eliminated but with virtually no chance of winning the league title. They fall to 3rd place, 3 games behind Portland.
