Entering today’s game, the Brewers had a crazy track record over the last several weeks — whoever won the first two games in a series lost the series finale. That stretch included:
- Brewers lose two, win finale against Cardinals (April 25-27)
- Brewers win two, lose finale against White Sox (April 29-May 1)
- Brewers lose two, win finale against Cubs (May 2-4)
- Brewers win two, lose finale against Astros (May 5-7)
- Brewers lose two, win finale against Rays (May 9-11)
- Brewers lose two, win finale against Guardians (May 12-14)
- Brewers lose two, win finale against Twins (May 16-18)
After the Brewers won on Monday and Tuesday against the Baltimore Orioles, they were just an Orioles’ win away from extending that stretch to eight straight series.
