Brewers’ Unstoppable Sweep Sparks Epic Beer Shower Celebration—You Won’t Believe What Happened Next!
There are only a few teams this season that were successful on the road, and one of them was the best team in baseball, the Milwaukee Brewers. They were nine games above the .500 mark in road games. Only one other team was more than five games above the mark on the road this year (the Yankees). Today they send out Quinn Priester, who coincidentally grew up as a Cubs fan. Simply put, Priester was fantastic for the Brewers this season. He repeatedly put them in a position to win games. For the year, he was 13-3 with a 3.32 ERA, and a 1.24 WHIP. To think the Pirates and Red Sox basically gave up on the 25-year old is a little insane. Priester led the Brewers to 19 wins in a row in games he started before they finally lost in his last start of the season against the Reds. He faced the Cubs three times this season, with 14.1 innings covered, allowing 10 earned runs. Seven of them came in his first appearance against them. To counter, the Cubs send out Jameson Taillon. Taillon made one start for the Cubs in the postseason, and he went four scoreless innings, allowing just two hits. He has been a full run better at home than on the road. He has only allowed six earned runs over his past 38.1 innings, though, so he is locked in when it matters most. Taillon also faced Milwaukee three times this season, allowing eight earned runs over 16 innings.Â
