Milwaukee Brewers had a near feather in their cap to add on to all of the other impressive things they’ve done this season. They were going to take down Jacob deGrom. The Brewers had a 2-1 lead against deGrom thanks to a Luis Urias leadoff home run, and a Jace Peterson home run. Milwaukee didn’t do much after that. But still, they held on tightly. Josh Hader stepped in for the save in the 7th inning and for the first time all season, Superman didn’t have his powers. Hader gave up a home run to Jose Peraza and the game was 2-2. Milwaukee would end up losing the game 3-2 in extras to lose their third straight game. Thankfully, Milwaukee played great in the night session to end that losing streak and avoid getting swept. But it should have been a day sweep for the Crew. That’s a bad loss despite getting the win in the evening.

It’s good to see the Brewers do something against deGrom. Even if it’s two home runs, that makes me feel good. They could see this team in the playoffs, and they’re not a fun bunch to play. They’re scrappy, pesky and have good pitching to get them through. deGrom pitched once in the postseason, and it was the Mets’ run to the 2015 World Series. He pitched well against his NL foes then not so well in the World Series. It is very likely that the Brewers and Mets will be the matchup in the NLDS. They seem to be on a collision course unless something changes at the top.

It’s also nice to see the Brewers have short memories and win the second game in convincing fashion. They took advantage of a kid called up to make a start as well which they do not always do. The positives are there. It’s just frustrating that they did not sweep the doubleheader.
