The Milwaukee Brewers have already clinched their division and a spot in the playoffs. History says that how a team fares over their final few weeks of the season doesn’t generally affect how they perform in the postseason. Still, the Menomonee Valley Nine have not played the greatest baseball lately, and added another game to the ‘L’ column against the Dodgers on Friday night.
Things started off well enough for the Brewers. Sure, Eric Lauer gave up a solo home run to Trea Turner in the first inning, but the offense got going in a big way against Clayton Kershaw in the early going.
