The opening of the series was magnificent for the Brewers, winning their first three games against the Rockies. Aaron Ashby was on the hill for the Crew as they aimed for a sweep. Kyle Freeland was on the mound for the Rockies and pitched well against Milwaukee.
Colorado was able to put a run past Ashby in the top of the third when Diaz hit a home run to left giving the Rockies a 1-0 lead. Hampson followed that up with a double, but Ashby was able to get out of the inning only allowing the home run.
