Good lord, when it rains it pours for Detroit. They were up 2-0 on Cleveland with Skubal dealing. Bottom of the 6th Cleveland leads off with a bunt hit followed by another bunt where Skubal tries to throw the guy out at first by throwing it between his legs like a center hiking a football and it sails into right field, so Cleveland gets runners on 2nd and 3rd. Then an infield hit, a wild pitch, a balk and a groundout and suddenly it's 3-2 Cleveland.
Kinda crazy how much of the AL playoff picture has shifted in the last couple of weeks. Former Brewer Jason Alexander gives up a 7 spot in the 2nd to the Mariners as Seattle is going for a sweep of the Astros. The Mariners were on the outside of the playoffs a couple of weeks ago and are suddenly the 2 seed with how far the Tigers have fallen.
Rumor is the Brewers will be hosting the Braves in next year's Little League Classic.

Wow, ending to the Dodgers/Orioles game was crazy. Dodgers were up 3-0 and Yamamoto had a no hitter through 26 outs before giving up a HR to Jackson Holliday. Then the Dodger bullpen couldn't get the 27th out and the Orioles ended up walking it off 4-3.
The Brewers have the best record in baseball by 4.5 games, the Cubs are tied for the fifth best record in baseball and are 6.0 games back. In any other division they'd either be leading, tied for first or within a game of first. But yeah, we're letting them hang around.
Yeah, the Mariners traded their no. 9, 16, and 17 prospects for Suarez who has put up a negative WAR as a Mariner all while free falling and, as it stands now, barely hanging on to the 6 seed by a half a game.
This was originally supposed to be a scheduled day off for the Brewers, but the Brewers requested to play today because a holiday game is going to have a much larger attendance than a Tuesday night game.
The Brewers are currently 5.5 up on the Phillies for the 1 seed. The Brewers swept the Phillies in Philadelphia so they need to just win one game this series to get the tiebreaker.
The Brewers went into a series with the team with the best record in baseball (other than them) at the same time the Cubs went into a series with the team with the worst record in baseball. The Cubs gained zero ground and the magic number dropped by 3, successful weekend.
This morning the WWE Vault YouTube channel posted the full Wrestlefest 1988 event from Milwaukee County Stadium. What's funny is in the wide shots you can see the Cleveland logo on top of the home dugout from when they were filming Major League.
When Matt Arnold was in the booth during the third inning he mentioned the Brewers have their own printing press now, so that explains the sudden influx of t-shirt giveaways.
