Breakdown

To keep it brief; it was the homestand of the year. The Brewers, fueled by a pitching staff of unsung heroes and a grand slam-powered offense, they won five out of their six games last week, sweeping the defending champions and taking the series against the rival Cubs.

Highlights

I hope you like Grand Slams. (Hoskins on Monday, Bauers on Wednesday, Chourio on Friday, and Turang on Sunday)
