The Brewers travel to Portland for a 3-game series against the Wild Things and get a series sweep.

Game 1 sees a combined shut-out for the Brewers staff as Daniel Torres pitches the first 5 innings, giving up just 3 hits while striking out 1 and walking 5. Youngster Jaden Francis pitched a very good 2 innings after that, not allowing a hit or walk and striking out 2. And veteran lefty David Brown finished it up with 2 solid, giving up 2 hits and striking out 2 while preserving the shutout. The Brewers win 5-0 as Antonio Puente (.240/.363/.478) goes 2 for 4 and hits HR #23. Daniel Torres improves to 14-4 and drops his league leading ERA down to 2.01.

In game 2 it takes 6 Brewers pitchers and 10 innings, but the Brewers win 6-1. Abel Pennington was solid for the first 5 innings, giving up just 1 run on 3 hits. The Brewers did not counter with a run of their own until the 6th inning. The game remained tied 1-1 at the end of the regulation 9. But in the top of the 10th the Brewers broke out for 5 runs by putting together a combination of a pair of singles and double with 3 walks, an error, and a wild pitch.

Game 3 was another tight one as the Brewers squeaked out a 3-1 victory. Rookie Steve Green gave the Brewers a good 5 1/3rd innings, allowing 1 run on 3 hits while also walking 4 and striking out 1. Once again the bullpen was flawless in preserving a narrow lead. Eric Singer pitched the final 2 innings to get save #16 (1.84 ERA). Green improves to 2-1 with a 2.21 ERA to start his major league career. Pat Rondeau (.295/.335/.399) and Andrew Kennedy (.305/.336/.432) led the way offensively for the Brewers. Rondeau went 2 for 5 and hit his 8th triple of the season and Kennedy chipped in with a 2 for 4 game and drove in RBI #51 (in 374 PA's.)

With the sweep and with the Speed Devils losing the last 2 games of their 3-game series in Detroit, the Brewers now hold a 2 game lead in the race for the MGL pennant.
The season is far from over, but the oddsmakers are now seeing the Brewers as the clear favorites to take the MGL crown again.
