Series loss aside, the Brewers proved they can hang with the NL's best in the Braves

The weekend didn't turn out the way the Milwaukee Brewers had hoped it would.

Nevertheless, their showing against what is the best team in the National League – and quite possibly in all of baseball – in the Atlanta Braves this weekend was encouraging.

Despite being badly out-gunned offensively, the Brewers were in all three games and only a couple innings away Sunday afternoon from clinching the series before Ozzie Albies hit a three-run home run off Elvis Peguero in the eighth to decide a 4-2 affair at American Family Field.
