April 22 - The baseball gods struck again or the Pittsburg Pirates over-indulged in Milwaukee's most famous product. Pick one! Talking about reversal of fortune. Coming off of a three game sweep of the Cincinnati Reds on April 18th, Pirates pitching gave up 36 runs in three games and their offense managed one run in the series.
To complete the series sweep and to add insult to injury, the Milwaukee Brewers won game three 20 to nothing! More records were destroyed than Beatles' albums when John Lennon proclaimed "We're more famous than Jesus!" The game was the first 20 to 0 game in MLB history. Not suprisingly, it was the greatest margin of victory for the Brewers and greatest margin of defeat for the Pirates.
April 20 - The Brewers showed strength early in the series scoring 3 runs in the first and second innings of game one. Dave Bush pitched seven innings of no run ball and a 8 to 1 victory.
April 21 - In the series middle game, the Brewers continued their first inning proficiency with a Ryan Braun homer in the first. That was all the offense Milwaukee needed as four pitchers combined to shut-out the comatose Pirates. Yovani Gallardo struck ten Pirates in five innings.
SERIESWEEP - Come monitor, debate, & celebrate sports finest moment...the Series Sweep!
