The Brewers headed off to L.A. to face the 4th place Spinners in a 3-game series.

In game 1 the Brewers got a narrow 4-3 victory thanks in part to rookie second baseman Jonathan Koch (.239/.273/.397) who hit a solo HR in the top of the 9th to break a 3-3 tie. Koch went 2 for 4 in the game. Steve Green got the start for Denver and gave up 3 runs in 7 innings, allowing 4 hits, striking out 8 and walking 3. He did not get a decision. The win went to reliever Miguel Solis who pitched the final 2 innings, getting the six outs with just 18 pitches thrown. He improves to 3-3 with a 1.51 ERA.

The kid Koch was a big part of the game 2 win also, as his 8th inning bases-loaded 3-run double to break another 3-3 tie and the Brewers went on to win 7-3. It was Koch's 10th double of the season. Fellow rookie Mike Foster (.290/.308/.380) also had a good game, going 2 for 4 with 2 runs scored and hitting his first triple of the season. Erik Sloan got the start but not the win. He worked 6 innings giving up 2 runs on 8 hits with 6 strikeouts and 2 walks. Jaden Francis got the win, pitching an inning but giving up a run on a hit and a walk. Francis is now 3-1 with a 3.86 ERA.

The Brewers won the series but were denied the sweep when the Spinners prevailed in game 3, 5-3. Cheol-han Lee pitched probably his worst start of the season, allowing 5 runs on 9 hits in just 5 1/3rd innings pitched. He falls to 11-5 with a 2.19 ERA. The bullpen was solid after that and the offense tried to rally in the 9th but they fell short.

After winning 2 of 3 the Brewers remain in 3rd place, now 3 games behind Brooklyn and 6 1/2 behind Charlotte heading into the last day July.
