By taking the final two games of the series, the 27-23 Brewers ensured they would wake up on Memorial Day in first place in the National League Central.
Nelson followed Chase Anderson's near no-hitter on Saturday with a Sunday gem, scattering seven hits over seven innings without a walk, holding Arizona to a lone run thanks in part to his second career double-digit strikeout performance. Brewers catcher Manny Pina collected three hits in his return from a two-day absence and erstwhile leadoff man Jonathan Villar had two hits batting seventh, but the Brewers' biggest swing came from Santana.
