The Brewers start the first full week of August with a 3-game series in Detroit against the last place Falcons.
They start with a rare Monday doubleheader. In the opening game the Brewers get a fine start from staff ace Cheol-han Lee, who gives up just 2 runs on 5 hits with 3 K's and 0 walks in 8 innings pitched. Unfortunately, the Brewers offense continues to be frigid and they fail to score a single run for Lee as the Brewers go down 2-0. Lee falls to 9-4 with a 2.72 ERA.

Game 2 was Harry Lyerly's turn. Two starts ago he had probably his worst start as a big leaguer. His last start was good, but was also rain shortened. This start, well, pretty much a masterpiece. Granted, it didn't start that auspiciously, as he gave up a first inning lead-off single and a one-out double which scored the first run of the game. But he worked out of the inning without any more damage done. And after that, he was pretty much lights out.
Lyerly got the complete game win, allowing just 4 hits while issuing not a single walk and striking out 14 batters. The 14 strikeouts ties the Brewers single-game record. A record set just last season. By, you know, a kid named Harry Lyerly. The offense didn't exactly come alive for the kid but they did just enough- the big hit being a 2-run 4th inning HR off the bat of Mark Compton (his first HR of the season in a Brewers uniform, and 11th overall)- and the Brewers won 3-1. Lyerly improves to 12-6 with a 2.91 ERA.

In game 3 of the series, Adam Getchell got a rare chance to start a game- the 24-year old former first round draft pick (#3 overall) has been pitching mostly long relief out of the pen this year- as he tries to stake a claim in the crowded Brewers rotation picture. Getchell had a solid start, working 8 innings, allowing 3 runs on just 4 hits while striking out 5 and walking 2. Though to be fair, he didn't have a lot of pressure on him in the game as the Brewers offense came fully to life and scored early and often on the way to an easy 15-3 victory. There were many offensive stars in the game - the team did collect 20 hits, including 3 doubles and a triple- but none bigger than Pat Rondeau (.319/.364/.406), who went 5 for 6 with 4 runs scored and 1 driven in and hit his 17th double of the season.

The Brewers remain in 3rd place, 1/2 game behind San Francisco and 6 behind Phoenix.
