The Brewers return home to the Mile High City after a very successful road trip and begin the home stand with 3 games versus the 9th place L.A. Spinners.
The Brewers take the first 2 games against L.A. to extend their winning streak to 8 games.
In game 1, Cheol-han Lee was pitching a shutout going into the 8th inning when he ran into a little trouble. Eric Singer entered the game after Lee had allowed 2 runs to make the score 3-2 in favor of Denver and with runners on 2nd and 3rd and no outs. It was a nearly impossible situation for Singer and while he did limit the damage pretty well, one more run did score to tie the game a 3-3. It was the 4th blown save on the season for Singer. Fortunately, the Brewers retaliated with 2 runs in the bottom of the 8th and Singer was able to hold the 5-3 advantage and pick up the win to improve to 7-5 with a 2.09 ERA.
Game 2 was another tight one. Harry Lyerly was on the mound for the Brewers and pitched another fine game in spite of allowing 2 solo HR's- the only 2 runs the Spinners would score. Lyerly pitched 8 innings, allowing the 2 runs on 6 hits while striking out 6 and walking none and was named the Player of the Game but did not get credit for the decision as the game was tied at 2 at the end of 9 innings. It wasn't until the bottom of the 16th inning that a Ryan Rodgers single broke the tie and gave the Brewers the 3-2 victory. Josh Morrow got the win, improving to 2-0 with a 2.79 ERA. Tanner Yurek, who has been hot of late, went 3 for 6 in the game and hit his 19th double.
The Brewers winning streak ended at 8 when the Spinners won game 3 narrowly, 4-3. Once again extra innings were needed, although this time the Spinners plated a run in the top of the 10th and the Brewers could not score in the bottom of the inning and went down to defeat for the first time in 9 days. Tanner Yurek had another great game at the plate for the Brewers, going 3 for 5 with 2 runs scored, hitting his 20th double and 6th triple in the loss. Liann-wei Hua suffered the loss, walking 3 and giving up the 1 run in the 10th (though the run was on a lead-off HR so he limited the damage all things considered) and he falls to 3-3 with a 1.60 ERA.

Tanner Yurek was named MGL Player of the Week.
