Game 64 | Brewers 15, Athletics 14

MIL Starter: Kyle Harrison (2.1 IP, 8 H, 2 BB, 8 ER, 4 K)

Top Performers:
Jake Bauers (2 H, BB, HR, 3 RBI)
Andrew Vaughn (4 H, 2 2B, HR, 4 RBI)
William Contreras (3 H, BB, HR, 3 RBI)

It was a tough day to be a pitcher in Las Vegas on Monday, with the Brewers and A’s facing off in a game that saw the most hits (34), runs (29), home runs (11), and ABS challenges (16) a single game had seen all season. (Tellingly, some of those standards were topped by another game the A's played on Sunday against the Rockies.) The absurdities don’t end at just the counting stats, though, as the game saw multiple blown 4-run leads and 14 different pitchers, coupled with other late-game dramatics.

Game 65 | Athletics 7, Brewers 5

MIL Starter: Robert Gasser (5.0 IP, 8 H, 2 BB, 6 ER, 7 K)

Top Performers:
Coleman Crow (2.0 IP, H, BB, 0 ER)
Garrett Mitchell (3 H, 2 2B)
Jackson Chourio (H, HR, 2 RBI)

It was a much more normal affair scoring-wise on Tuesday, but like all the pitchers had the day before, Brewers starter Robert Gasser struggled to keep the ball in the ballpark, as Athletics batters put the ball over the fence four times against the lefty. No furious comeback followed him either, despite a 3-hit day from Garrett Mitchell. The A’s evened the series with a 7-5 win.

Jackson Chourio goes deep (+15.0 WP%)

Game 66 | Athletics 4, Brewers 3

MIL Starter: Brandon Sproat (6.0 IP, 4 H, BB, ER, 4 K)

Top Performers:
Trevor Megill (1.0 IP, H, 0 ER, 2 K)
Andrew Vaughn (2 H, BB, RBI)
Jackson Chourio (2 H, HR, RBI)

Brandon Sproat turned in what was debatably his best start as a Brewer in the rubber match, twirling six innings of one-run baseball. Once again, though, the home run ball bit the Brewers, with two big flies off of Chad Patrick in the 7th inning flipping the scoreboard in favor of the A’s for good.

Gary Sánchez’s solo homer (+9.5 WP%)

Game 67 | Brewers 6, Phillies 0

MIL Starter: Jacob Misiorowski (9.0 IP, H, 0 BB, 0 ER, 15 K)

Top Performers:
Joey Ortiz (2 H, 2B)
Jake Bauers (H, BB, HR, 3 RBI)

Friday night was a historic one for Jacob Misiorowski. On just 95 pitches, Misiorowski faced the minimum against the Phillies, allowing just one hit, walking none, and striking out 15 in what is surely the most dominant start in Brewers history.

Game 68 | Phillies 9, Brewers 8

MIL Starter: Shane Drohan (5.0 IP, 8 H, 0 BB, 4 ER, 7 K)

Top Performers:
Jackson Chourio (4 H, 2 HR, 4 RBI)
Garrett Mitchell (2 H, HR, 2 RBI)
William Contreras (3 H)

Another rough day on the pitching front followed the Miz's dominance, as Shane Drohan and Chad Patrick couldn't contain the Phillies' offense through the first six innings. The Brewers would battle back, though, thanks in part to a two-homer day from Jackson Chourio and a 3-hit day from William Contreras. That comeback effort wasn't quite enough, however, with the Phillies nabbing a 9-8 win to set up a Sunday decider with their ace on the mound.

Game 69 | Brewers 4, Phillies 0

MIL Starter: Kyle Harrison (6.0 IP, 3 H, 0 BB, 0 ER, 3 K)

Top Performers:
Blake Perkins (2 H, HR, 2B, 3 RBI)
Jackson Chourio (2 H, HR, RBI)
Aaron Ashby (2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, 0 ER, 3 K, SV)

Kyle Harrison bounced back from his rough Vegas outing by outdueling Christopher Sanchez, cruising through six innings of scoreless baseball. Meanwhile, Jackson Chourio hit his third homer in two days, while Blake Perkins was the hero, launching his first homer of the season off one of the NL's best pitchers to land an early KO blow.

Blake Perkins' first home run of the season (+22.0 WP%)
