The Brewers entered Wednesday's game looking to complete a two-game home sweep of the Minnesota Twins and were in a good position with Corbin Burnes starting the game for the Crew and Kenta Maeda started for the Twins. Milwaukee is still in a pennant race with the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds for the top spot in the division, so winning these series down the stretch is crucial for holding off their rivals for a playoff berth.
The Twins got on the board first after Carlos Correa hit a sacrifice fly to score Eduard Julien, giving Minnesota an early 1-0 lead.
