The Milwaukee Brewers’ offense continued rolling early today, and by the fifth inning of today’s game, they had a 9-3 lead and looked on their way to an easy, dominant sweep of the Minnesota Twins. But starter Quinn Priester and the Brewer bullpen didn’t have their best stuff today and Minnesota had no desire to go down without a fight, and the Twins nearly came all the way back. But closer Trevor Megill, for the second time in four days, staved off a late comeback and shut the door.
It was the lefty Danny Coulombe who started today’s game for the Twins as an opener—it was Coulombe’s just the second game started in the 35-year-old Coulombe’s 11-year career.
