MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Brewers struck first for three runs in the first inning against veteran right-hander Michael Lorenzen. Although the Detroit Tigers answered by scoring a couple of runs, the offense couldn't spark a rally to catch up on the scoreboard.
The Tigers lost, 6-2, to the Brewers in Wednesday's series finale at American Family Field, winning the three-game series but failing to sweep. The Tigers (9-13) won twice and scored 11 runs on the six-game roadtrip.
Rookie Joey Wiemer (Temperance Bedford) hit a solo home run off left-hander Tyler Holton in the eighth inning to extend the Brewers' lead to four runs.
