A sluggish offensive effort in their last series left the Milwaukee Brewers with a bad taste in their mouth. They now head west for a potentially thrilling road trip with a chance to look refreshed and productive again.
They kick off a three-game series against the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday, a matchup that is much more important than the Giants’ 71-73 record would suggest. Any win is important, of course, as the Brewers chase the best record in the National League. But the Giants fit well into the category of “a World Series team should be able to beat this team,” while still being a fairly, sort of, decently good team.
