The Brewers next face the Brooklyn Aces, who come into the 3-game series on a 6-game winning streak. So something will have to give, as the Brewers have a 13-game streak of their own on the line.

And, in game 1, the Aces winning streak comes to an end and the Brewers are now at 14 straight wins. It wasn't even close as the Brewers got an 8-0 victory behind Cheol-han Lee. Lee went the distance, allowing just 6 hits while striking out 5 and walking 3. He improves to 6-4 with a 2.67 ERA. Andrew Kennedy (.321/.353/.437) went 2 for 5 with 2 RBI (25) and hit his 7th double of the season.

Game 2 was much like game 1. The Brewers got a complete game shutout from reigning MGL Pitcher of the Year Harry Lyerly and they won 6-0. Lyerly pitched probably his best game of the 1971 season thus far, allowing just 3 hits while striking out 11 and walking 2. He improves to 8-4 with a 2.86 ERA. The Brewers got a big game from back-up infielder Danny Roman (.256/.348/.385) as he went 2 for 3 with 3 runs scored, 3 RBI, 1 walk, and hit his 2nd HR of the season. Andrew Kennedy (.325/.356/.443) stays hot, going 2 for 4 and hitting his 8th double.

But all good things must come to an end sometime. The Brewers winning streak stopped at 15. The Brewers nearly extended the streak when they came back from being down 3-0 in the 8th inning to tie the score in the bottom of the 8th, thanks to an error by the opposing firstbaseman which put Danny Roman on base, a double by Andrew Kennedy, a two-run scoring double by Tanner Yurek, and a single by Ryan Rodgers to score Yurek with the game-tying run. Then Miguel Solis came in to keep the game tied and give the Brewers a chance for a walk-off in the bottom of the 9th. Except Solis was not up to the task on this particular day. He did not record an out, allowing 3 runs on 3 hits, including a 2-run HR and Liann-wei Hua allowed another run before getting the requisite 3 outs in the inning as the Brewers ended up losing 7-3 and saw the long winning streak come to an end. Solis fell to 3-4 with a 2.01 ERA.

It is a bittersweet thing, seeing that winning streak achievement pop up, because it means the streak, as wonderful as it was, is over.
