On Friday night, the Brewers got off to a quick early lead and held on for nine innings as they beat the Cleveland Guardians in the first game of this series. On Saturday, Milwaukee got out to a 1-0 lead in the first and ultimately won 2-1 in a nail-biter. This afternoon, the Brewers again handed their pitching staff a slim early lead, and that was all that Colin Rea and the bullpen would need in a victory that moved them to 20 games over .500.
Things started off well for Milwaukee.
