HR >> None.

The Brewers bats woke up in the first inning scoring 2 runs. The Tigers came back and took the lead when a throwing error by the Brewers catcher cost a few unearned runs for his brother...when a bases loaded triple cleared the bases.

The Brewers came back and took the lead and held it to finally get a win vs the Tigers. Good games this week both teams!
