A trip to a good hitters park- Baltimore's Community Stadium- certainly helped wake up the Brewers bats.

In game 1 the offense, led by Pat Rondeau (.286/.311/.352) who went 3 for 4 with 2 RBI and Mike Foster (.291/.316/.389), who also went 3 for 4, scoring 2 runs and hitting his 4th double and 2nd triple of the season, put up 8 runs in game 1 to get an 8-3 victory. Cheol-han Lee went 7 innings, giving up 3 runs on 10 hits, got the victory to improve to 13-6 with a 2.06 ERA.

The Brewers and Lords were tied 3-3 going into the bottom of the 9th in game 2 but reliever Jaden Francis gave up a lead-off single, threw a wild pitch to send the runner to second, got a fly out to deep right-center that advanced the runner to third and then surrendered a two-out, game-ending single. Harry Lyerly got the start for Denver, giving up 3 runs on 8 hits in 7 innings pitched and earned a no-decision. Bobby Erbakan (.275/.346/.390) went 2 for 5 with 3 RBI and hit his 8th HR in the loss.

The bats were booming again in the rubber match, led, as earlier reported, by Mike Foster's 5 for 5, cycle-hitting performance. Also notable is that second baseman Ian Dube, playing in his first big league game, went 3 for 5 and drove in 3 runs. Dube's very first big league at-bat resulted in a run scoring single. A good way to start his big league career. Bobby Erbakan had only 1 hit in the game but it was a massive 3rd inning HR. Matt Helm had a fine start, working 7 1/3rd innings while allowing 3 runs (2 earned) on just 3 hits, striking out 9 and walking 2. Helm improves to 5-5 with a 2.66 ERA. Dave Duncan gets his 2nd save of the season (1.73 ERA.)
