Sorry for the delay -- life got in the way of my OOTP fun!

In a series that proved to be much closer than it should have been, the Milwaukee Brewers came to town to take on the Boston Americans for a 3-game matchup. While Boston was able to take 2 of 3 games, sloppy defense and little power from the lineup is becoming all too common. While the season is still young, this is something that I will need to keep an eye on and, if not improved, look for ways to fix the issues.

Game 18: Jumping out to a quick 3 to 0 lead after the 3rd inning, the hometown faithful thought they would see an easy victory; the Brewers had other plans. Bouncing back with 3 runs of their own, Milwaukee (6-12) made the Americans (13-5) work for the victory. Cy Young (3-2) picked up the win, going the distance while allowing 3 runs (1 earned) on 9 hits and finishing with a Game Score of 67. Scrappy second baseman John Farrell led the way for the home team, going 2 for 4 (Double, 2 RBIs, and 1 Run) to raise his batting average to .375 for the season.

Player of the Game: Cy Young (Season: #3 / Career: #3)

Game 19: What a game! While the pitching duel was fun for baseball purists to watch, it wrecked the nerves of the home team fans. While Milwaukee (6-13) jumped out to a quick 1 to 0 lead and kept Boston (14-5) hitters in check for the first 6 1/2 innings, they could not muster enough hits to prevail. In route to the victory, Jesse Tannehill (3-2) twirled a masterful 5-hitter, allowing 1 unearned run for a Game Score of 81 to pick up the victory. Kid Elberfeld (2 for 3, HR, 2 RBI, 2 Runs, 1 Walk) and John Farrell (3 for 4, Double, 1 RBI - team leading .397 batting average) each had a solid day at the plate to contribute in the win.

Player of the Game: Jesse Tannehill (Season: #3 / Career: #3)

Game 20: This was a rough game for fans to watch, as the Brewers (7-13) cruised to an easy 8 to 2 victory over Boston (14-6). Fred Klobedanz (4-1) took the loss, allowing 8 runs on 15 hits and 3 walks, finishing with a dreadful Game Score of 24. Milwaukee's hitting attack was led by Malachi Kittridge (4 for 5, 2 Runs, 1 RBI), Jim Connor (3 for 5, Double, 1 RBI), and Jimmy Barrett (2 for 4, 1 Run, 1 RBI, and 1 Walk). Other than Fred Clarke's 3 for 4 day (Double, team leading .413 batting average), there was not much for Boston's fan to be happy about.
