June was a great month for the Brewers but it unfortunately ended on a down note as they traveled to Los Angeles and were swept in 3 games by the Spinners.

In game 1, Harry Lyerly, having tossed his best game of the season in his previous start, was not very sharp and allowed 5 runs on 8 hits in 6 2/3rds innings pitched, striking out 4 while walking 1. The big hits against Lyerly were a pair of 2-run HR's off the bat of the Brewers' long-time nemesis, Rigby Muckenfuss. The Brewers took him off the hook for the loss when the scored a run (on Andrew Kennedy's 11th double of the season) in the 7th to tie the game at 5-5. But the Spinners would plate a run in the bottom of the 8th against Miguel Solis to take a 6-5 lead which they did not relinquish. Harry Lyerly sees his ERA rise to 3.09 and Solis drops to a 3-5 win-loss record with an ERA of 2.08. Bobby Erbakan (.272/.319/.477) stays hot with a 2 for 4 game and hits his 10th HR of the season and Jamison Bash (.292/.379/.576) hit HR # 18.

And then the Brewers bats went silent.
In the second game of the series, they were held to 1 run on 5 hits and lost 3-1. Rookie Steve Green gave up the 3 L.A. runs while allowing 6 hits over 7 innings pitched. Green falls to 7-3 with a 2.96 ERA. Pat Rondeau (.250/.266/.360) collected 3 of the Brewers hits, including hitting his 3rd triple of the season and he also stole 2 bases (4 SB, 0 CS).

The final game of the month saw the Brewers drop a tough 3-2 game in 10 innings. Daniel Torres only lasted 4 1/3rd innings in the start, giving up 2 runs on 4 hits and 4 walks and Liann-wei Hua suffered the loss, dropping to 2-2 with a 2.00 ERA. Jamison Bash (.291/.375/.578) and Bobby Erbakan (.272/.318/.485) once again provided the biggest share of the offense for Denver, Bash hitting his 19th HR of the season and Erbakan his 11th.

Having been swept in this series, the Brewers end the month of June with an impressive 23-7 record for the month but Phoenix goes 22-8 in June and holds onto first place, 4 1/2 games ahead of the Brewers.
